ended last season under a bit of a cloud after progressing rapidly through the handicap ranks but a winter break has obviously done him the world of good and he was more than back on track, better than ever after 8 months off to record a first pattern success; in touch, travelled well, close up 2f out, led inside final 1f and forged clear; he's still lightly raced, having just his seventh start here, and this could be a stepping stone to even bigger and better things this season.

A cracking renewal of the Earl of Sefton and it looks solid Group 3 form, a duel emerging between the pair at the head of the market, both of whom are on the fringe of competing at the very top level; the pace was nothing special but conditions made for a decent test at the trip. MAHSOOB ended last season under a bit of a cloud after progressing rapidly through the handicap ranks but a winter break has obviously done him the world of good and he was more than back on track, better than ever after 8 months off to record a first pattern success; in touch, travelled well, close up 2f out, led inside final 1f and forged clear; he's still lightly raced, having just his seventh start here, and this could be a stepping stone to even bigger and better things this season.
