Verdict
It could pay to stick with MUSTAQBAL in his current form. He won on heavy going at Carlisle before going close again at Ayr behind Newmarket Warrior, due to run in the other division of this, and can confirm latest running with Cadeau Magnifique racing off the same mark. Power Sail won at Ayr recently and is preferred to Beverley runner-up Placebo Effect while Zeshov was also placed at the same meeting at Beverley last month. Weld Al Emarat has tumbled down the weights since joining Mick Easterby but was well beaten at Ayr last time when behind third-placed Glorious Poet.
