Mutanaaseq won over course and distance 12 days ago but only beat Dick Datchery by three-quarters-of-a-length with Strongbowe a neck away in third and course specialist The Armed Man not far behind in fifth. North Wind is best over the minimum trip but there are possibilities about RESTLESS ENDEAVOUR. Grant Tuer’s sprinter was only beaten a head off a pound higher mark here at the start of last month and has had excuses in both starts since. J R Cavagin was a progressive juvenile and looks a threat reappearing on a decent mark.
