An interesting clash between the three-year-olds and older and more experienced handicappers. Mujassam won this last year and arrives in terrific form again, though probably faces stronger opposition than 12 months ago. Roys Dream made all at Bath last month but that was on very fast ground. Epeius, Friendly Advice and MR WAGYU all finished in a heap behind Jordan Electrics here eight days ago. The latter probably didn’t get the run of the race and, now blinkered, can come out on top this time. Archies Lad only won a claimer at Leicester and in unlikely to have the pace for this.
