Verdict

Moodhill ran four times for Charles Hills last year winning a Doncaster maiden on soft ground in mid-summer. He may well be capable of a better rating than 76 and has joined a top local yard. Hazaz didn't run badly here last winter and started favourite on his reappearance at Jebel Ali on Friday but was well beaten. It was exactly two years ago that Shihab made a winning debut for Godolphin at Wolverhampton and he's likely to be ready for this. This is a race for two-year-olds plus so the presence of VIGOR is intriguing as the former Dave Simcock-trained youngster won a Brighton maiden from just four starts and is taken to make a winning debut for new connections.
