FormscanBy Alan Magee - Mutasarref has been a great servant to connections with four of his ten career wins coming at this venue including this race in 2023. The Ger Lyons-trained gelding ran right up to his best when runner-up to Alakazi over course and distance last month but in receipt of 5lb, QUEEN OF THUNDER just gets the vote. She had Fingerpaint over three lengths behind when narrowly denied by Princess Child at Tipperary and now takes a drop in class after a creditable effort in the Group 1 Matron Stakes here last month. Soft Winds has yet to win for current connections but probably ran a career best when third at Naas last weekend, while UK raider Sallaal is another to consider.
