Verdict

Batal Dubai came up short again at Wolverhampton recently but Musical Tribute won over track and trip before finishing behind CUBAN BREEZE at Yarmouth. The latter was narrowly beaten over course and distance last week and is taken to go one better. Live In The Moment and Onemorenomore won on the Turf on their penultimate starts but maiden winner Almaty Star was only fourth back handicap company at Leicester.
