AL MUTHANA prime performances have been over shorter distances, raising concerns about the 2000m distance in this race. Recent form is below par for this grade, signaling the need for improvements. If he manages to replicate his previous form, there’s a possibility he could make a competitive showing, potentially securing a spot in the back end of the quartets.
