Verdict

Compton Classic, Muktasb and Navigation are the three for the shortlist here and preference is for Compton Classic to return to winning ways. A Wolverhampton winner over this trip two outings ago, Muktasb has run well since, staying on to finish a close fifth on a return visit to the track, and he can go well. A winner at Bath in September, Navigation ran with credit on each of his subsequent runs and must be respected despite this being his seasonal debut. Compton Classic won over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton recently and was only just touched off there last time. He still appears to be in good form and can resume winning ways. Compton Classic can score once more.
