Mujamead escapes a penalty for his win in a boys' race at Towcester last Thursday but that was over 2m, his best trip. Twice Lucky has lost his confidence while Be My Deputy and Mystified usually find at least one too good, but Quapriland won a small race at Folkestone two runs ago and a subsequent third came over hurdles. PINDAR has only had two runs over fences and only found Upton Mead too strong in this grade at Plumpton last month. Dougie Costello is a good jockey booking for Neil Mulholland's charge, who can go one better today. Musselburgh third Morning Time may be best of the rest ahead of top weight Pamak D'airy.
