Muktasb looks to have outstanding claims here and he looks a solid bet against the likes of Dodaa and Violet's Pride. The selection ran a blinder from a poor draw last time when he chased home Snow Bunting here. He had Dodaa behind him that day and as he is slightly better drawn than him today, he looks set to confirm superiority over that rival. The drop in trip looks sure to suit Dodaa but if our selection reproduces the form of his last run he will be hard to beat. Violet's Pride has the perfect draw in stall 1 and that gives this filly a serious chance. She is having only her second run for a new stable and she is certainly worth noting in the market. Borzoi Maestro has been done no favours by the draw and looks worth taking on. All of which returns us to Muktasb as the one to beat.
