Four Kingdoms returned to winning ways over 1m2f at Haydock recently but makes less appeal raised 8lb for that success. MUTAMADED has been competing at a higher level since going close in this grade at Ripon last month. Ruth Carr’s charge can take advantage of the drop in class and come out best in this company. Cape Islay has struggled since scoring at Chester in June and Maulesden May hasn’t figured since winning at Ayr earlier while Acclamatio was tailed-off on his reappearance but the Irish raider is still worth a second glance in the betting.
