Verdict

Three of these returned to action with a win and Rydan scored over track and trip before beaten over 2m back here last time. But he’s raised in class today and Mugatoo is preferred having won over a similar trip to this at Doncaster on his reappearance. The latter has a 9lb hike in the weights to contend with but SHIP OF THE FEN is only 5lb higher than when scoring over 1m6f at Salisbury last month and it’s Ian Williams’ charge that gets the nod to go in again given he’s won on soft ground in the past. Twin Star will also appreciate the underfoot conditions having his second outing after wind surgery but Island Brave still looks high enough in the weights.
