Verdict

Everything looks in place for last year's winner MUTASAABEQ to stage a return to form. His record on the Rowley Mile is almost impeccable (sole defeat from five starts on this course came in the 2021 2000 Guineas) and this small-field scenario is perfect for him (form figures in fields comprising seven runners or fewer reads 1111232411). The bang in-form Chindit will offer stern resistance and he is next on the list ahead of the unexposed Maljoom, who will be a big threat if fully tuned-up.
