Sir Michael Stoute runs Arbaab, who will be suited by stepping up in trip, and MUNAASER, who gets the verdict. The New Approach colt was heavily supported on his debut over 7f at Yarmouth and though found wanting it was lack of experience that proved his undoing. He's entered in the Dante and the Derby so is obviously highly regarded. Galuppi made a bright start in a maiden over a mile at Kempton and definitely needs this trip while the Galileo colt Sufranel was staying on over a mile at Kempton in December. Zee Zeely has to be a threat after a fine effort on soft ground at Newmarket where he just failed to catch Idder over 7f and Roger Varian's Sea The Stars newcomer Munatas is the second foal of a mare who has already produced a winner.
