Munsif
Won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian and was useful; 0-5 over hurdles but bar one blip it's been a promising start; placed in three of his four starts over hurdles in Ireland, including a Naas event in which the top-class Saratoga was second; hung badly right when failing to justify support in a juvenile handicap hurdle at Ascot.

From the connections
“On paper it looked an easy opportunity unless the Charlie Johnston horse with a nice pedigree was something special. Munsif popped out and used his experience, he probably wasn't doing an awful lot in front and I just had to keep him up to his work. He looks like a horse who's going upwards. I thought he handled the quick ground at Nottingham but it's probably a little bit quicker today and he might just prefer a little bit kinder ground - Jim Crowley, jockey.”
