Mustamir had Notarised behind when only beaten a length on his debut at Thirsk and has to be respected. Early Morning had had the benefit of a run when finishing ahead of FLAG WAR over 7f here last month and the Godolphin colt is fancied to turn the tables over this extra furlong and get off the mark. Miner's Lamp needs more than when fourth at Yarmouth but, like Frosty The Snowman and Libeccio, has scope for improvement and newcomers Dursey Island and Zephyr are worth a market check.
