Verdict
MUSTARRID took advantage of a slide back down the weights at Nottingham last week and won by six lengths. He’s penalised for that but is due to be raised by a further 5lb after this and has won on Tapeta before. Ulshaw Bridge scored over track and trip last month and is only 3lb higher while Dawaaleeb went close off today’s mark here a week ago. Traveller looks high enough in the weights now and so does but Little Jo but National League is back on a winning mark and posted a better effort on the Turf last time.
