Shadwell’s 5-year-old entire Mutasaabeq (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}–Ghanaati, by Giant’s Causeway) was rewarded for his consistency in pattern-race company with a course-and-distance win in September’s G2 Challenge S. and, penalised three pounds for that success, made a winning seasonal return in Friday’s rescheduled G2 bet365 Mile at Newmarket. Racing on the front end after a slick getaway, the 4-1 chance poached a decisive advantage approaching the quarter-mile marker and kept on powerfully under continued urging inside the final furlong to easily account for MG1SW G1 Irish 2000 Guineas hero Native Trail (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) by three lengths.
