Verdict
MAUREB has recent form at the track when runner-up to Mishaal over course and distance 10 days ago. She was ahead of Yeeoow on that occasion and Tony Coyle’s filly gets the nod to go one better. Sunraider is upped 4lb for winning at Doncaster recently but likes it here. Kyllukey has yet to win on Turf and is 8lb higher than his latest victory on the all-weather but Ace Master is capable at this level on his day and an apprentice’s allowance helps his cause here having been placed at Nottingham last time.
