Verdict

Mister Mustard, Gaelic Flight and Mr Boo look the principals in this competitive opener and the vote is given to Mister Mustard. The selection won well last time out when beating Mon Mome and although he has a penalty for that win he won with plenty in hand and this looks easier so he is hard to oppose under conditions that suit. Gaelic Flight rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Coat Of Honour but he has given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Mr Boo is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Wenceslas but he has yet to prove he stays this far so is overlooked here. Finely Tuned is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but he has had plenty of chances without taking one and he needs to improve to score. Of the remainder Lease Back is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but he may need the run after a 566 day absence and for the winner we return to Mister Mustard.
