In depth
Verdict
Due to his consistency Murzim is the TEAMtalk selection in a tough race to find the winner. Victorious at Sandown a few months ago over 14f he followed up with two fair runs in defeat and will have benefited from his mid-season break. The ground should suit and a big run is expected. Mandoob is another who is expected to run well and has shown good form at this time of the year in the past. Fletcher is a consistent sort who has been tried over a variety of distances this season. He has shown good form over this sort of trip in the past and could go well at a decent price on ground he should relish.
