Verdict
On The Waterfront makes the long journey from the John Hills yard and can recoup the travelling expenses by beating Four Kings and Munaawashat. This consistent four-year-old ran his best race to date at Haydock earlier this month finishing a close up fourth behind Futoo in a class E handicap. That was off a mark of 66 so on official ratings he has nothing to fear from today's rivals. Munaawashat was beaten into fourth behind the in form Prenup at Brighton last time, form that puts her bang in the firing line here. Four Kings has shown ability on all three of his outings and hails from a very shrewd yard so should be closely monitored in the betting. Big Bad Burt is pretty well exposed but can be given a squeak on some pieces of form, however On The Waterfront could be just about at his peak and gets our vote.
