Mustaaqeem is one of seven rides for dual-champion jockey, Paul Hanagan, in division two of the mile Maiden Stakes over the straight mile at a soft Doncaster this afternoon; this once-raced Dynaformer colt is by far his best chance of making the winners' enclosure on a day when there are four flat fixtures and jumping at Towcester.
Of course it's overwhelming, absolutely ludicrous, and the reason why one devised the daily patent which involves three singles, three doubles and a treble; never bet less than 2/1 on single bets!
Sometimes that means only four units are used but less is better when punting; over a period of a month you will find the DP covers all needs and that's what serious betting is all about, long term, and patience.
Even though one details each-way as an option in selection panels you are best playing win only for the DP.
Given his profile Mustaaqeem, runner-up in the fast-run Wood Ditton over the Rowley Mile last month, will probably go off a 2's chance because the obvious rival to Sir Michael Stoute's charge is Druids Ridge, trained by John Gosden.
Both these training leviathans are beginning to get their operations into shape and following them, whenever possible, virtually guarantees success; I'll pinpoint their obvious opportunities.
Druids Ridge was also second on debut but the actual time-figure achieved by Mustaaqeem was a deal superior and reports suggest he could be a real special!
The Twisler, recently acquired at Newmarket sales by Jane Chappple-Hyam out of Charles Hills' yard, should appreciate easier underfoot conditions in the opening 3-y-o handicap over twelve furlongs and could give some return for the 20,000 guineas cost.
It was like a road when The Twisler ran on well to finish second on firm Bath 18 days ago; his action suggests that didn't suit but he appears to be on a lenient mark and useful 3lbs apprentice Danny Brock is a significant booking.
