      Verdict

      Munhamek made a winning debut at Kempton and only just failed to cope with a penalty at Newcastle. He's stayed on strongly in both starts over 7f so the extra will suit. DESERT LION looked in need of the experience at Kempton and didn't get going until too late but will have come on a bundle and can go one better. Noble Prospector took a while to get the hang of the job at Leicester but stayed on nicely and will do much better here while Beautiful Gesture should also make some progress though may do better in handicaps. Hamish is by Motivator out of a 1m4f winner so this could prove on the short side.
