Verdict

Both Mystified and Zefooha have strong claims on this handicap but we take our chance with the very much in form KINGS MAIDEN. The pick has been rarely out of contention in eight starts and had a very successful campaign over timber in the winter. She's shown good form back on the level this season including landing a similar race on her penultimate start and followed that up with a good run under a penalty to find just one too good. Mystified's best form on the level has come in sellers but his mark looks at least fair and he is in good heart. Zefooha was a winner on his last start after returning to a nice mark but he looks to have more to do this time now five pounds worse off. Mayadeen is looking well handicapped now and should run better than in recent starts but with Kings Maiden in such good form we'll take our chance with her.
