10/3
Mudbir landed a Chelmsford maiden on just his second start last spring and also landed a Sandown handicap on his first start in that sphere. Producing a career-best on his next start, he came out on top in a Class 2 at Glorious Goodwood and should improve plenty for his seasonal debut in the Victoria Cup.
