      Verdict

      Mumbles Head gets the confident vote here with King Barry and Glen Rouge rating the main dangers. The selection has won his last two races in good style notably when beating Oscar The Boxer with plenty in hand. He again has conditions to suit and he need only run up to that mark to win with plenty in hand. King Barry rates the main danger on his best form but he has disappointed of late so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Glen Rouge ran well on his debut but showed little last time. Of the remainder Sodantay is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but his overall profile leaves him with plenty to find and for the winner we return to Mumbles Head who is hard to oppose.
