WHAT KATIE DID just gets the verdict over Muktasb to land this handicap with Now You See Me also with a claim. The selection now has a rating 18lbs lower than his last win which was over course and distance in March. Since then although wins have been hard to come by good performances haven't including the last effort, again over course and distance when third of 12 only just behind the fair looking River Kirov. He looks very well handicapped to win a race of this standard on current form. Muktasb has been frustrating for connections recently with a number of good performances with three placings in the last three runs. The latest effort was over course and distance 10 days ago where he was found a little lacking for speed. Kempton might be a better fit for him to finally score again but in this company has more than a good chance. Now You See Me returned to turf last time and will be pleased to be returning to her best surface. The polytrack has provided her only two wins so far both at Wolverhampton and only over the minimum trip. There is a placing here in her past but she looks a little like an out-and-out five-furlong animal although the fast track conditions will be of help. The Little Fizzer's recent consistent efforts add to her stock but she should be no match for the selection.
