Verdict

MUSALSAL arrives in top form, displaying a willing attitude for victory number 2 at Gowran 3 weeks ago and a subsequent 5 lb rise ought not to prevent another very bold bid. Blackstone Cliff isn't straightforward but he is dangerous from his basement mark, with Harvey Specter another to consider.

  1. MUSALSAL (IRE)

  3. HARVEY SPECTER (IRE)
