It looks significant that Richard Hannon has booked Ryan Moore on CYFLYMDER instead of his Getcarter, who is forecast to go off at shorter odds, so we'll take the hint and side with the first mentioned while Mujood is also interesting in a tight handicap. As well as the Jockey booking in the pick's favour he also is looking better weighted in the handicap these days. He wasn't that impressive last time but has a good strike rate over this trip and at the forecast odds he looks worth the risk. Getcarter is the other Hannon runner in the line-up and was expected to follow up a nice win at Windsor but was a little disappointing last time. That said he wasn't granted a clear passage and if given a better time of things in running he should be closer. Mujood goes well at this venue and followed a victory at Brighton by just missing out over a mile here last time. He's just as good over this trip and is still weighted to challenge. Nasri run a nice seasonal bow and can improve from that while Thebes is good on his day and Mark Johnston has a good record at this venue. It's tight in the extreme but Cyflymder looks a value call.
