This looks wide-open but MUATADEL arrives in fine form and may well land the hat-trick raised 3lb for winning over track and trip last time with Hurstwood behind. Mudawwan was beaten less than a length in a bunch finish at Redcar while Oriental Lilly finished runner-up here and can race off the same mark. Fircombe Hall placed at Redcar last month and the returning Atrafan is back on a winning mark.
