Verdict
Mumgos Debut, now a dual winner here, is on a hat-trick but is closely matched with Budarri on recent form. Rossmore's Pride and Las Tunas are also recent winners so warrant respect but WHITSUNDAYS is back on a winning mark and will strip fitter for his fourth in a much higher grade at Carlisle so gets the nod ahead of Charlie Snow Angel, who usually runs well around here and is another starting to look well treated. Duhallowcountry is more difficult to fancy from almost a stone out of the handicap.
