Verdict
Sualda, Masjoor and Compton Star look the three to concentrate on in another tight handicap and the vote is given to Masjoor. The selection was a fair second last time out when behind Grecian Groom. He again has conditions to suit and off the same mark here he looks a value bet. Sualda rates the main danger. On his best form he should be fit from the flat and with his yard liking a tilt at the ring he should be watched in the market. Compton Star is another that could go well on his latest third behind Silverhay but he now looks weighted up to his best. Cellermaster has shown little of late, while Cash On is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he may need the run after a 372 day break, so for the winner we return to Masjoor.
