      Verdict

      The handicapper has Mo Mhuirnin and JUST MUSTARD separated by just a pound whilst Asserting showed ability last season. Just Mustard shaped with promise on each of his first two starts and was never likely to feature in the Newmarket maiden in which he made his reappearance. This is a far more suitable target and he may be able to help his trainer maintain his excellent strike rate at the track. Mo Mhuirnin has performed consistently over five furlongs but is moved up in trip in an attempt to open her account. All conditions appear to come alike to her and she seems guaranteed to give her running. Bootleg and Apache Ridge may prove capable of better but Asserting has stronger form claims on her efforts for another yard last year but this is forecast to be the fastest ground that she's encountered. He has a little to prove but Just Mustard may be able to step up to the plate.
