In depth
Verdict
MUSALSAL has been here twice and won them both. He's raced over further the last twice which hasn't suited and can keep his unbeaten record on the track. Blankiedoodie was beaten just over a length behind Jungle Jungle here in August when conceding 4lb. He's 1lb worse off here and Colin Keane rides the latter who looks a big threat. Mk Drama is 0-13 and hasn't been finding much at the business end over a mile while it's over two years since Shifted Strategy gained his only victory though that was on heavy ground from 8lb higher
