QUESTION...Mumbles Head 2.55 Aintree

Often do, but they probably took an intelligent view - that it wasn't much more than a year ago, and was going like a winner when it fell in a big race on previous outing, and not yet old enough to have necessarily deteriorated through age. Maybe the thinking was that it was on course to be raised for that run (when it fell), and so cancelled that with a drop for time out. Probably took the trainer into account too. (!)
