Steventon Star is the clear pick on official ratings but has barely raised a gallop in recent runs and may also have stamina limitations. Sexy Secret has been racing over further while Tasaaboq has already been beaten in a seller, as has Roly Tricks. Any improvement on MUZAAHIM's third in a maiden at Catterick will see him in the firing-line here so Kevin Morgan's gelding gets the nod.
