Hard to ignore the claims of AL MUZN after the gelding demolished his rivals over course and distance to the tune of seven lengths. Inevitably hammered by the handicapper, he now runs off a 13lb higher mark. That said, his initial rating of 65 probably was not indicative of his true ability and he's worth staying with despite a rise in grade, especially as there should be more progression after just five starts. The majority of his rivals do not appear to be in the best of form although the likes of Boafo Boy could be interesting off a declining mark and with first-time tongue tie and blinkers applied. Shot Of Love is a definite danger though, having followed up a narrow Wetherby win with a solid runner-up effort over course and distance. He receives weight all round and looks on the upgrade.
