    Verdict

    Municipal and Princess Cayan will need to be useful newcomers to trouble the experienced trio. Opt Out and Ouzinkie already have plenty of experience to lean on and there looks little between them on the book, but the former, who looked a surefire winner before tiring in very testing Newcastle ground last time, is narrowly preferred of the pair. However, MEGAMUNCH showed notable promise when runner-up on his racecourse debut at Musselburgh when shaping well, can improve past the pair. His yard has yet to record a juvenile winner this term from a handful of runners but are a yard that has traditionally done well with its youngsters.
