MUDLAHHIM drops down in class with leading claims on these terms. An apprentice’s allowance further helps his cause and he should have the measure of last week’s Kempton third Giuseppe Cassioli. The latter can also figure again and is preferred to I Am A Dreamer, who steps up from 6f. Kodi Gold makes most appeal of the remainder on these terms having finished runner-up at Lingfield recently.
