Verdict
MUNFALLET won a similar grade contest over the course and distance in October and followed up in better grade at Haydock. He's been well beaten in Class 3 contests subsequently but a return to this grade off his last winning mark can see him back in the winner's enclosure. Englishman also won at a slightly higher level at Windsor before a fair run at Goodwood and has to be respected along with Dandy Flame, who ran his best race for some time at Salisbury. Vincentti won here in September but has been badly out of form in recent starts and Ginzan, who has 10 victories to his credit, hasn't run since October.
