FIRST UP returned a losing favourite at York last time but ran well enough for third. Jeremy Noseda’s charge should find this easier and gets the vote. Paul Hanagan prefers Muzeel, who disappointed at Yarmouth last time, to the newcomer Sawlaat while Mullarkey showed some ability when placed at Epsom on his debut. Caspian Gold is another likely improver and Wootyhoot, a half-brother to six winners, makes more appeal than Fox King of the newcomers.
