Muncaster Castle gets the vote here ahead of Citrus Chief and It's No Problem. Muncaster Castle looked to have more to come when scoring at Wolverhampton last time - on which form he holds Raquel White - and a three-pounds rise looks fair enough so he can go well. Citrus Chief comes into this race on the back of a fair claiming run and, working on collateral form, he is weighted to beat King Of The Beers and It's No Problem, the latter pair being closely-weighted on January course and distance form. Stepping up in trip, the likes of The Dagger, Alnwick and Brean Dot Com could all improve but, for the selection, we will stick with Muncaster Castle.
