In depth
Verdict
A rejuvenated MR WAGYU has now won four of his last five outings having scored at Haydock last week. A 3lb rise is negated by an apprentice’s allowance and John Quinn’s charge is taken to confirm earlier running here with George Bowen. The latter has subsequently gone close at Thirsk while Ventura Express finished behind the selection at Haydock. Capote's Dream has a shout on a recent second at Windsor while Music Society finished in front of Ghathanfar when scoring at Pontefract last month and is preferred to both stablemate Danzan and Raatea.
