Mokaatil looked a surefire future winner when fourth in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot but was well beaten when odds-on in his only subsequent start at Wolverhampton and is probably worth taking on here with HARROGATE. James Bethell’s colt stepped up markedly on his first run when only beaten a neck by No I’m Easy at Thirsk last month and has the plum draw. Biddy Brady has run well in a couple of starts at Beverley but may do better over an extra furlong. Gorse and Call Dawn look decent candidates for a nursery but Lady Sophiebella is worth a market check as she’s by Monsieur Bond out of a 6f winner.
