Daniel Muscutt

Draw 5

HHH Won the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (1m2f, heavy) last October and his staying-on fifth in the 2,000 Guineas (1m, soft) suggested he could be a fine middle-distance prospect; better could have been expected in the Derby (1m4f, good to firm), when only ninth, but not every horse takes to Epsom and he retains potential; won on fast ground last summer; not written off. Official BHA Rating 112

Draw 2

HHH Won Nottingham maiden (8.3f, soft) and Sandown novice (1m2f, good to soft) on first two starts; beaten 11l when seventh in the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) but produced an eye-catching finish effort after being well behind; he was possibly unsuited by that tricky track and could have more to offer now back on a conventional circuit; interesting contender. Official BHA Rating 104
