A weak event in which the Bob Buckler trained Just Muckin Around is given the nod on account of his course experience, with Cyindien seen as his main rival. Just Muckin Around¿s handler has notably returned to some semblance of form of late and while the eight-year-old is exposed as moderate, he has fewer negatives against him than the others. Cyindien needed the run at Newbury last time out and could be the most likely danger. Useful when with Venetia Williams, he is now with Bridget Nicholls. Joe Deane was well beaten in a very ordinary chase at Towcester, while Gollyhott and Acertack have shown little on the racecourse. Erin Alley is watched in the market for any positive vibes, but Just Muckin Around is given our vote in the contest.
