Verdict
Mushtaq’s bid for a hat-trick came unstuck at Sandown and this looks no easier. LEDHAM (NAP) is less exposed having placed at Sandown on last month’s handicap debut and is fancied to show further progress today given he’s Ryan Moore’s only ride at the meeting. Wufud won a novice race at Ffos Las recently and has to come into the reckoning but Hombre Casado is upped in class having been recently gelded. Mudallel and Sir Hamilton had both gone close at Chelmsford on their respective penultimate starts only to turn in poor efforts last time.
