Verdict
NUFOUDH can take the last on the card, while Mayoman and Arjemis are among the dangers. Tracy Waggot's gelding won a similar contest over course and distance in August before going close from today's mark at Musselburgh. He has a good draw on this tight track and with plenty going for him he gets the vote. Mayoman won over 6f at Newcastle and is up 3lbs for that, though he is 4lbs better off with the selection for a little under two lengths on their running here in August and should be able to go very close. Ann Duffield's Whispering Spirit just got home in a claimer over course and distance but will find this tougher now back handicapping, and a better proposition may be Lytton, who relishes trip and ground and now back on turf should be competitive from this mark of 60. Arjemis is worth another try at the trip after a maiden win over 6f here last time and can get involved, while Royal Premium will want to make it a test of stamina to enhance his chance. Nufoudh can score.
