Muthabara on Nassau trail

John Dunlop reports Muthabara to be thriving as the one-time Classic hope limbers up for a first crack at a mile and a quarter in the Blue Square Nassau Stakes at the beginning of next month.

After overcoming a poor mid-race position, she knuckled down to win a Guineas trial at Newbury before occupying eighth place in the fillies’ Classic when still behind in her coat.
