Multahab gets a narrow call over Cosmic Destiny, Nawayea and Ballybunion, with Piccostar and Conjecture a couple more to mention. Multahab showed signs of a return to form when second to Silver Prelude here, with Conjecture back in third. They meet on the same terms, and hopes are high that Multahab can again come out on top, and indeed go one better. Cosmic Destiny has been pretty consistent over the past month or so, and still looks reasonably treated despite carrying 9st 3lb, and the maiden Nawayea appears to be finding her form based on two decent recent efforts. Ballybunion has a squeak of being involved in the finish as well, as he meets the selection on a pound better terms than at Kempton where they were separated by a head. The pin comes down on Multahab in a tricky finale.
