The eye is drawn to MUGHEER on debut given the level his half-brother Shayem has achieved for connections. Shaniko and the frustrating Romidijo set a solid if unspectacular standard.

Quirky filly who has had a fair few chances now, weakening when flashing tail back in maiden company at Chepstow 17 days ago. Has the ability to be a factor but others look safer.
