Verdict

An exposed bunch here where Music Review can probably notch up another course and distance success, while Silver Mitzva won't be far away and none of the others can be totally ruled out. The selection has a 3lb pull for less than a one length defeat by Silver Mitzva at Kempton last time. He stays well, and although he has not yet raced on fast ground he should be able to handle it, so he gets the nod. Love Brothers was not far away over two miles last time and won a minor handicap off 1lb lower at Bath last month, when he relished firm ground. Top weight Ravenna was red hot in the summer with a hat-trick of wins but looks just a shade too high in the weights now, Paradise Walk is in form but this might stretch her stamina too far, while Its Moon needs a drop in the weights, and Music Review can go in again.
