Verdict
None of these inspire much confidence in their current form so only a tentative vote goes the way of DUAL MAC. He has been placed on his last three starts now including a second at Redcar last week and it could be his turn today. Mustaqbal and Shootingsta have both gone close in between a couple of modest efforts and In Focus is preferred on his recent close-up fifth at Redcar. Chiswick Bey found only one too good on a couple of occasions before finishing just ahead of Naoise when well beaten at Beverley.
