MUSADDAS returned from a lay-off with a second at Nottingham. Kieren Fallon's presence suggests he's preferred to stablemate and course winner Furas and the Godolphin charge gets the vote. Suehail has been raised 6lb for his recent win over course and distance while Dursey Island is upped 2lb for landing a maiden at Goodwood. It won't be long before Messila Star and Buckstay win their first handicaps and both have a shout in a wide-open affair.
