Hot Mustard has gone close on both subsequent starts since scoring at Bath in June and should be in the mix once again. But CRICKLEWOOD GREEN (NAP) was beaten only a couple of lengths in a Class 3 race at Goodwood last week and Sylvester Kirk's charge gets the nod dropping down into this grade. Nice Thoughts was placed yet again at Doncaster recently though was still beaten five lengths while Vale Of Iron is assisted by a 5lb claimer today having found one too good on his last couple of outings.
