      Verdict

      MUSAAHIM comes out best of those with a handicap rating and this extra distance could see Roger Varian’s charge off the mark having gone close over 1m4f at Kempton recently. Both Marine One and Mahabba ran well over the latter distance at Newcastle on their respective latest starts but Ocean Of Love steps up in trip on the back of an introductory fourth over a mile at Kempton. Assiduous finished closer at Chepstow back in June without looking like winning but is another with plenty of scope.
