There seems to be no reason to believe that the resurgent form shown by Musally has been a flash in the pan, and he is taken to continue on the upward curve tonight at the main expense of Easy Squeezy, Accepting and King's Reign, who could go well at a price. Musally has reveled in the conditions since the turning of the ground and has been able to use his turn of foot to good effect against similar opposition. He faces a slightly stiffer test here but is still open to improvement and has enough scope to overcome a 6lb rise. Easy Squeezy hails from an in-form yard and has the ability to go close in a race of this nature. But it is interesting that Carl Llewellyn prefers to partner King's Reign, and a move for him will be significant. Accepting is another who should high on the list after an improved effort at Southwell last time.
