In depth
Verdict
Dean Ivory runs both Further Outlook and Mirasol Princess, both should get involved here, but our idea of the winner is Musical Fair. Jeremy Glover's five-year-old hasn't won for over a year but has been steadily dropping down the ratings. He showed his time wasn't far away when going down by just a length to Baron Rhodes at Doncaster last month and he looks the one to be on this evening. Richard Quinn rides Further Outlook who showed he was no back number, despite his advancing years, when just touched off by Devon Flame last time out. Meanwhile stable companion Mirasol Princess looked in need of her seasonal debut and is now back on a very reasonable mark. Of the others Indiana Blues and Seven No Trumps can be expected to go close if producing their best, but Musical Fair looks the pick of the weights and gets our vote.
