Verdict

Munbaher started favourite for his debut at Pontefract a fortnight ago and, though unable to see off Halfsin, he had the rest well beaten and the experience should have done him the world of good. He has a fitness advantage over DANADANA but the latter gets the vote as he did well on his two starts over 7f in his first season and is bred to be much better over middle-distances. Taste The Victory ended his first campaign with a poor effort at Haydock but he wasn't beaten far on his racecourse debut at York and clearly goes well fresh.
