Verdict
Mustard should be suited to this longer distance having won over a mile at Haydock in September and Belgrade also steps up in trip after winning at Wolverhampton in the same month. But OCEANOGRAPHER (NAP) scored over 1m2f at Pontefract in October and is just preferred with his yard remaining in red-hot form. Verismo and Danegeld are more recent winners having both won on the all-weather this year but My Mistress was well beaten on her handicap debut at Chelmsford in January after making a winning start at Kempton.
