Rigoletto caught the eye under a considerate ride at Newbury last month but finished just behind the equally-unexposed and promising Addeybb and the latter’s trainer, William Haggas, appears to hold most of the aces in this as he also runs MUSICAL TERMS (NAP). Ryan Moore rides the The Queen’s colt so he’s presumably the stable pick with the slight step up in trip expected to suit after he got outpaced at Chester. Jeremy Noseda is also double-handed with Reckless Woman preferred to Jus Pires but both need to find improvement. Mabrook will be qualified for handicaps after this but Khataaf is a newcomer worth noting as his stable has won races with two of his dam’s three previous offspring.
