Verdict
Brian Hughes keeps his partnership with Musselburgh third SERIOUS EGO intact and the decision can pay dividends as this is not a strong handicap. The Jad Factor must have needed his run here in November and Shantou Moon is worth a second look making his handicap debut. So Many Roads is similarly unexposed over timber while Dora De Janeiro was more like her old self at Market Rasen a month ago. Jet Legs is another to consider along with the lightly-weighted Ex S'elance.
