The 108-rated Mustajeer sets the standard in the feature at Roscommon this evening, the Listed Lenebane Stakes.
Successful on his debut for Ger Lyons at Naas last October, the son of Medicean chased home Cliffs Of Moher on his return to action in May, before finishing second in a Listed contest at the Curragh on his most recent start.
