MURADIF is getting closer with every run and wasn't beaten far when fourth over today's trip at Brighton last time. He's a speculative selection in what looks something of a lottery. Secret Lightning has been competing in better company but steps up to 7f along with Simply Magic. The latter finished practically upsides Verchild Lad when fourth at Nottingham last time. Chester Deal made the frame over today's distance at Catterick without threatening the winner while Toast Of Newbury and Invincible Zeb are others to consider.
