In depth

Verdict

In a very modest event Cava Bien can gain a long overdue victory, Cash On appears to be the only real danger, Mujazaf may do best of the remainder. Cava Bien has gone close to losing his maiden tag on numerous occasions, including when finishing an execllent second to Caribou on similar ground at Leicester. With conditions in his favour again today he should take all the beating. The mighty Paul Nicholls sends out the newcomer Cash On. This son of Spectrum won off a mark of 70 on the all-weather at Lingfield and will no doubt have been well schooled. If the money poors in for this one take note. Mujazaf was last of eight on his hurdles debut but is from a shrewd yard and was quietly fancied in that contest so there could be plenty of improvement to come. However it does appear a two horse war and Cava Bien is the one we will plump for.
