In depth
Verdict
Tasneef, Escalade and Mujkari are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the vote goes to Tasneef. The selection won well last time out when defeating Piquet in a similar race and again under similar conditions he will be hard to beat. Escalade ran as if returning to form when third behind Margery Daw last time and he should gain his revenge on that rival here on these revised terms and will not be far away. Mujkari looks well weighted on his best form and is one to note in the market but he has shown very little of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Trafana Falcon is taking a big drop in class and is another that could improve while Now And Again is from a yard in form and is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to Tasneef
