In the opening Sky Bet First Race
Special Handicap (1.55) at York on Friday, Mukhayyam failed in
his hat-trick bid when only fifth of 10, beaten 1¾ lengths, in the
Shergar Cup Challenge at Ascot two weeks ago but, faced with a less
rigorous test of stamina, may be able to resume winning ways. A
course and distance winner in May, the Dark Angel gelding followed up
in good style at Ripon eight days later and, although 6lb higher in
the weights here, his Ascot run suggested that he remains feasibly
weighted. Reunited with winning jockey David Allan, it would be no
surprise to see him lead this field a merry dance and, at 16/1 with
Ladbrokes, his price is just too generous to resist.
Selection: Mukhayyam to win
