James Fanshawe’s yard is in fine form and 1m4f winner MURAU belongs to the family of high-class stayer Invermark. He should last home and is preferred to Chepstow winner Catbird Seat. The latter was beaten by Caldwell here earlier as was Blazon while Maketh Believeth gets another try over this far fitted with blinkers for the first time. Tigerten has been hurdling and has a shout back on the level having undergone recent wind surgery.
