In depth
Verdict
MIZEN MASTER only failed by a nose to give the older Boy In A Bentley 12lb at Cartmel. The winner followed up at Sedgefield under a penalty so the form looks solid and Olly Murphy’s four-year-old can pick up the winning thread again here. Man Look was a bit disappointing at Sedgefield last month and is trying a new trip, though his yard remains in fine form. Sweet Holly has won a couple of handicaps but is looking a bit exposed. Luso Benny did better over further last time but bumper winner Arizona Bound could be interesting.
