MUJOOD is taken to win the last, a good looking handicap, with Cape Hawk the main danger and Prince Of Thebes the value each-way play. The pick has a decent enough strike rate at the track, scoring three times from 11 starts, and his mark has been raised just two pounds for a course and distance success under this pilot last time out. He won off a mark two pounds higher at this time last year so he should go very nicely. Cape Hawk has some form to overturn having been beaten into third behind the pick last time out. He re-opposes on better terms here though and is racing off a winning rating. Prince Of Thebes usually runs his race and looks good for grabbing some minor glory at a bigger price now down to a mark just a pound heavier than his last winning rating. Riggins and Classic Legend both have a chance of challenging but their not ideally weighted so this time we prefer Mujood.
