MUTABAAHY has a fine strike rate here and had Duke Of Firenze back in fourth when scoring over track and trip just three days ago. An apprentice’s allowance negates a penalty and he can go close again. Secretfact also won here last time when making all and should go well from the front once again while Ventura Flame debuts on the all-weather having scored at Hamilton in September. Zulu Zander beat Secretfact at Bath earlier in the year and finished ahead of Chitra at Chelmsford recently.
