      In depth

      Verdict

      Al Muheer's last three wins have come in selling and claiming company so he faces some task conceding weight all round. SO IT'S WAR has been performing well in similar handicap grade and almost certainly ran into a well-handicapped one here last time in the form of Beat Goes On. He seemed to take to Tapeta really well that day and can go one better in a contest in which all look exposed with the possible exception of Mutamid. The latter looks on a decent mark after going well on Polytrack the last twice. He ties in closely with Al's Memory on recent running and both are entitled to shortlist inclusion. Gabrial The Thug looks the other one to have onside, having posted three handicap successes here over the winter months. He went close here last time too and should be on the premises for Richard Fahey.
