Verdict

Nubough has been threatening to win a handicap for the first time lately while little separated third-placed Ghathanfar and Etikaal over 7f here last month. Mutanaaseq placed over track and trip at the same fixture here when ahead of Fair Alibi but a chance is taken on EXCEL AND SUCCEED. Michael Dods’ filly has failed to reproduce a debut third at Beverley in novice races but improvement is expected on her handicap debut and second outing after wind surgery and she gets a speculative vote.
