Bussento failed to improve as expected when third at Newbury while Almutawakel returned a losing favourite at Epsom last time having shown promise at Ffos Las earlier. LAVENDER BEAUTY has placed in both outings over 6f so far but is related to a winner over today’s longer trip and there was cut in the ground when she was third at Goodwood last month. Youm Zaman is another upped in distance but The Goat placed over the extended mile at Nottingham on his debut and makes more appeal. Star is preferred of the newcomers.
