Verdict
Mujma gets the confident vote in this handicap with Jawaaneb and King of The Beers rating the main dangers. The selection was a good third behind Yes One at Chester last time out. This more conventional track should suit and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Jawaaneb rates the main danger as she was a fair sixth in a decent maiden behind Passing Hour she enters handicaps off what looks a lenient mark and with the step up in trip also looking to be in her favour she should be watched in the market. King Of The Beers is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Copernican. That horse has since won another two races and he has definite place claims. Of the remainder Always Best will appreciate the drop in trip and class and could go well at a price while while Polyquest is from a yard in form but looks weighted up to his best and with this in mind for the winner we return to Mujma.
