In depth
Verdict
A wide open handicap rounds off proceedings. Nuzzle was a good third behind Zero Tolerance in a fair maiden last time. The step up in trip is sure to suit and he should goes well off what looks a fair mark. Mucky Business was a fair third behind Dubai Dreams last time but the step down in trip is not sure to suit as he was doing all his best work at the finish on that occasion. Iloveturtle was second behind Maunby Rocker last time. He is from a top yard and if he sees out the extra distance he should go well. Emperor Star is from a shrewd yard. He has shown a modicum of ability in better races and any market move would be significant. Di Young was slowly away last time before staying on well. If he gets out on terms he will not be far away. Burnt Copper was a fair third behind Cruise Director last time and gave the impression he would be seen to better effect over this sort of trip. Decelerate was third behind Ephesus and Mukulu last time. The form has been well franked since and he is sure to be in the shake up. Of the remainder French Risk is from a top yard off a light weight and is worth a look in the market.
