Mafruz is not short of pace and should prove capable enough to take a moderate contest. The Barry Hills-trained colt has finished in the frame on all three starts to date and appeared not have stayed 7f at Southwell last time having led with two furlongs to race before weakeneing in the closing stages so the drop to the minimum trip should suit at this lowly level. Musical Sleuth has hinted at ability but his overall form does not look good enough so Tiffany's Quest, who is progressing judged on her recent effort at Sandown last time, looks the main danger.
