MUTAZAMEN was Richard Hannon's second string when making his debut over 7f here two weeks ago but finished ahead of his better-fancied stablemate and 12 others to finish second to Ashdan. He showed plenty of pace that day so the drop to 6f shouldn't be a problem and he can go one better now. Right Touch was second at Ripon earlier this month and should improve while there are a few newcomers worth watching including 80,000gns yearling Anna's Pearl, who is related to several useful performers, and Jeremy Noseda's Homage.

Homage (IRE) Acclamation colt out of Night Sphere.
