Calcutta: Trainer Neil Darashah’s four-year-old horse, Mountain Lion (Arshad Alam-up) is likely to upstage his inexperienced young rival, Agnostic (Vinay Jiaswal) in the 1,400m Baqlava Handicap – for horses in Class II— here, on Saturday.
  Agnostic is an easy winner of the Colts Trial but yet to test his hooves against a seasoned opposition. Mountain Lion has recently beaten Sitara who, subsequently lost to Soaring High, in the highest set last Saturday.
