CIRCUMVENT ought to take the world of beating, while both Muwalla and Flipping have enough form behind them to fill the minor honours. The selection won on his debut at Southwell on the all weather and lost nothing in defeat at Kempton last time out finishing second to Quadrille in the process. This looks like an easier opportunity for him and another bold bid can be expected. Muwalla has run well on a couple of runs to date and was not beaten far at big odds at Doncaster last time out. However he may do better once dropped into a handicap. Flipping broke his maiden tag at Haydock on his second attempt but disappointed in a similar contest at Nottingham last time out so should be treated with caution. Circumvent looks the form horse in the race and is worth staying on the right side of.
