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)
