Verdict
Ibsaar has already had a couple of runs on the all-weather this year but hasn't really sparkled in either and, along with the hat-trick seeking Tijori, may be vulnerable against less-exposed types here. Boogie Shoes was an easy winner at Wolverhampton in November, while Mattoral won at the same track a month earlier and will be suited by this longer trip. Whiplash Willie and Deorai have their fair share of weight on their return to action, however, so the vote goes to MASARAAT. John Dunlop's filly showed a willing attitude to wear down the more experienced Galloping Queen at Bath in August and a mark of 75 is far from excessive.
