Verdict

Having run out an emphatic winner at Doncaster in May, MUKAAFAH proved a let-down in his follow-up bid at Royal Ascot a month later. A low-mileage sort, who has been gelded subsequently, he's worthy of another chance to confirm previous promise returned to this trip. It's surely only a matter of time before Mythical Phoenix gets his head in front again and he's feared. Kings Merchant and Grant Wood can also feature.
