        chased leader until inside final furlong, no extra when slightly hampered final 110 yards

        In depth

        Verdict

        Antony Brittain has a strong hand represented by both Mutabaahy, who finished ahead of Dynamo Walt when scoring at Wolverhampton, and Klopp. The latter won here before going close over track and trip once again but a chance is taken on FOXY FOREVER. The latter has been keeping better company than this and now back on a winning mark, Michael Wigham’s sprinter may prove good enough at this level. Militia won twice on the Turf for Richard Fahey last year and though he hasn’t raced since October, he still makes more appeal than stablemates Nibras Again and Good Luck Fox on his debut for new connections.
