      Verdict

      A handful of these have solid claims including Muhandis, whose recent C&D victory over Mr Knightley gives him the beating of Al's Memory on collateral form. The latter was only beaten a short-head at Wolverhampton last time while Russian Ice went close over a mile here recently and Only Ten Per Cent was beaten just a length in a claimer at Kempton last month. MASAI MOON is yet another threatening to get his head back in front and, though his previous wins on the all-weather have been at Southwell, he's equally at home on the Polytrack and gets the nod.
