Ventura Rascal finished a decent third over track and trip earlier in the month and will be sharper for the outing. The latter comment also applies to Nottingham runner-up Zlatan though he hasn’t won for a long time now and MUSAHABA is preferred. Unplaced over 1m2f in Ireland last year, he has a pipe-opener under his belt having ran over 6f on his debut for David O’Meara. Today’s trip should suit the half-brother to Group 1 winner Nazeef now handicapping for the first time and he looks worth chancing. Dreamseller is not badly treated on his return to action and is preferred to Cote d'Azur.
