Verdict
Musical Mystery won over 6f at Wolverhampton last time having scored over track and trip back in August and is still improving. Touchwood has been thereabouts off similar marks recently and Dion Baker could go well but PRIDE OF SPAIN is expected to improve for this extra distance on his handicap debut so gets the vote.
