Race preview
SHERIFFMUIR has been costly to follow but surely a race such as this is within his compass. To be fair to John Gosden's colt, he has taken on some decent opposition and probably won't need to improve in order to break through here. The well-related Opportunist will have given connections some encouragement when fifth on his Lingfield debut and heads a list of dangers that also includes the bumper winner Fair Star.
