MUSIC SOCIETY ended the last campaign winning this off a 7lb higher mark. He's been racing in stronger company for much of this summer and showed a bit more dash at the last meeting so gets the vote. Momaer ran very well at Windsor but has gone up again in the weights while the selection's stablemate Glendown gained his third victory in seven starts at Redcar and a 4lb rise isn't excessive. Selby's Pride is 9lb lower than her last winning mark though that was over a year ago and a bigger threat may emerge from Tiriac, whose only victory came on heavy ground and who has run very well in his last three starts.
