Verdict
Individualiste hasn't done as well as expected since arriving from France though he did manage to win a course and distance maiden in March. MR MULDOON hasn't been in the best of form but started the year with a victory off this mark at Chepstow and Luke Scott's claim can see him back on the winning trail. Nordic Tiger has only had four runs and made a promising handicap debut at Lingfield when only losing second close home. Fleurman has won over hurdles and was in fine form on the all-weather at the beginning of the year.
