Verdict
Last year's winner Take Cover finished out with the washing behind Out Do in a Listed race at York last time and may be feeling his age. Cotai Glory, Line Of Reason, Justice Day and Kingsgate Native were also beaten on the Knavesmire by David O'Meara's much-improved sprinter, who must have decent claims again. But this has probably been the target of 2013 winner MOVIESTA (NAP) for some time and he ran well enough behind Stepper Point and Mecca's Angel at the Curragh to suggest another bold showing is on the cards having only been beaten half-a-length in the race last year. Out Do's trainer also runs easy Hamilton winner Move In Time and he has a live chance while Muthmir was an excellent third in the King's Stand Stakes, though has a penalty to carry. Justineo looks the pick of the remainder as Salt Island appeared to find 5f too short at Sandown last time.
