Formscan  - MUTAAWID went some way to living up to his top-class pedigree when scoring easily at Newmarket and a 10lb rise may not be enough to stop him from going in again. Botanical must enter calculations on his first start in handicap company since finishing second in the John Smith's Cup last summer, while Irish raider Akecheta caught the eye when not getting a clear run and keeping on late in a valuable contest over a mile at the Curragh. Arriving here on a four-timer after ending last season in top form, Ashariba is of interest on her return, as are Rathgar and Defiance.
