        Verdict

        This looks the easiest task that Murbek has faced so far and if he cannot win this then connections will be tearing their hair out. Guarantia and Goodbye appear to be the only real dangers. The drop back to this trip appears to be a good idea for Murbek as he hasn't appeared to have found much in the closing stages over longer trips. He has also found little when coming off the bridle but the feeling is that he may have too class here and, with his best run coming on good ground, he looks sure to run well. Guarantia drops in class having contested a couple of Listed races of late and he is another who should appreciate this drop to seven furlongs. Goodbye steps back up to seven furlongs but he seemed to run a better race over six last time out; he is one who won't mind if the rain comes. At a price Final Desire could run well if benefiting from his debut experience, whilst Laura's Best returns from a break and could well have improved from two to three for his in-form stable, however Murbek is fancied to finally win his maiden.
