Verdict
Mujamead, Chiff Chaff and Squiffy look the three to concentrate on in this staying handicap and the vote is given to Mujamead. The selection has won his last two races in good style and although rising in the weights he won with a little in hand when beating Saipan and he is taken to win again. Chiff Chaff rates the main danger on his latest second behind Starstruck Peter but no wins in 14 starts is off-putting. Squiffy was a fair third on his latest start and is sure to have come on for the run so should be watched in the market. Sovietta goes well fresh so could go well at a price while El Dee was second behind Hora last time and that form has since been let down. For the winner we return to the progressive Mujamead.
