Mount McLeod is a frustrating sort having been placed yet again on his latest start at Southwell when Bountiful Catch was fourth. Sweet Ovation has decent claims as she's already won a nursery at Chepstow and ran well again at Wolverhampton last time with King's Future behind, while Finalist and Illustrious Lad have bits of form on Polytrack that give them an outside chance. However, a chance is taken on MARAH MUSIC, who may not have figured over a mile at Newmarket last month but looks a leading contender on his earlier fifth over today's trip at Newbury.
