Mudallel has looked well handicapped recently and ought to be thereabouts. However, his productivity was disappointing in the closing stages last week and an extra furlong may not be helpful. SCOONES has a nice pedigree and there were clear signs last time that he was getting the hang of things. He looks a typical slow burner for the yard and follows a similar path to their winner of this in 2013. Marilyn has dropped to an attractive mark and represents a yard with a good record here, particularly when their runners are supported. Three's A Crowd has done little so far but the jockey booking looks positive and he has looked a likely type to improve when handicapping.
