Verdict
A typically-open 5f handicap which sees AW specialist Fujin return from a short break with claims off his lower turf mark. He is respected, along with stable companions Noah Amor and First Bombardment , while bottom weight Compton River shaped well last time and may be ready to return to last year's impressive form. Muatadel has strong claims in his bid for a hat-trick, but a chance is taken with LEXINGTON PLACE , who has dropped to an eyecatching handicap mark and is well drawn.
