MASHHOOR failed to fire last year, but he's slipped down the weights as a result and shaped as though on the way back when fifth of 13 returned to this trip in a similarly handicap at the Curragh last time. The 7-y-o is now equipped with a hood and he gets the nod, despite the fact that Ben Coen has jumped ship. Cloud Seeker was just touched off by Fleetfoot in the aforementioned race at the Curragh and the latter is taken to reverse those placings and emerge as the main danger to Mashhoor.
