MUSTAQBAL finished well ahead of Beach Action when going close at Beverley last time and also has the beating of Spirit Of The Sea and Lazy Days In Loule on collateral form. Mark Johnston's colt can go one better on the evidence of that form. Anneani beat Bushtiger when scoring at Catterick last month and remains unexposed while Cisco Boy and Wink Oliver have both won at Wolverhampton this year with the latter preferred in this grade.
