Musaahim should have few problems confirming Doncaster running with Chief Craftsman and will be fancied to make it third-time lucky this evening. But FESTIVAL OF AGES (NAP) made a promising start at Haydock last month when chasing home a subsequent winner. The third has also franked the form since and the Godolphin colt can go one better now, though any market interest for the other Godolphin runner Gold Star would be interesting as he’s a half-brother to three winners including dual Listed winner True Story. Ouja is a half-sister to four winners and she’ll be all the better for her sixth at Haydock when not beaten far while Kohinur is by Dubawi out of a decent middle-distance performer.
