MUTASAAMY (NAP) got his act together over track and trip last time when returning an impressive winner. He’s been raised 8lb but there looks plenty more to come from Roger Varian’s charge. Image Of The Moon was a less convincing winner here a fortnight ago when holding on for a narrow margin victory while Mums Hope was placed off today’s mark at Windsor last month. Fares Poet disappointed when favourite at Wolverhampton last time but the less exposed Tipperary Jack may improve for today’s extra furlong and get involved.
