Verdict

Leading All-Weather trainer Nick Littmoden looks to have found the ideal opening for Mush, who unlike the majority of his rivals, comes into this in good form. He is effective under these conditions and has a decent draw, so he is ideally placed to get a good lead. He has nothing to fear from dual-course winner Border Edge on that running and may more to fear from Mount Royale, who has been well placed to win a couple of minor events through the winter, and is certainly going the right way as he showed in defeat last time, but he does have to prove himself on this surface, while Kinsman, four times a winner here, has been done no favours by the draw. The maiden Ability is worth a mention, given his trainers recent record here and with Fallon on board, he is sure to have his supporters
