Verdict

MISTER MUSICMASTER was behind Corporal Maddox over 7f at Chepstow last time but the latter has a penalty to carry and Ron Hodges' charge is much more effective over this extra furlong, winning over course and distance last year off a higher mark – he could be the value in an open-looking race. Lulani rates a danger having returned to winning ways at Sandown and makes more appeal than Marcano, beaten three times off this mark recently, and the disappointing Steal The Scene. Exceeding Power and Wind In My Sails also look high enough in the weights at present.
