MUTAMARED is the form pick to land this claimer with both Fathermost and Bradywell Boy worth noting. The selection was a one time 100 plus handicapper and looks a class above his rivals here. He has been put in at a realistic claiming price meaning he is pounds well in on official ratings and if he can recapture anywhere near his best form he will prove difficult to beat. Fathermost is blinkered for the first time after disappointing when dropped in grade for the first time last time out. His form in the early part of the flat season was consistently good but he has since gone off the boil so has to be treated with some caution. Bradywell Boy drops into claiming company for the first time and is a more trustworthy individual after running promisingly at Warwick last time out. He was only narrowly beaten into second spot that day and should be good enough to be in the shake up once again so is worth noting in the market for any support. But for the winner we return to Mutamared.
