Devizes was always in the front rank and only succumbed close home when narrowly beaten over the track and trip last month. Music Major, five-times a winner around here, is now on his lowest mark since 2016 so has to be respected but MURAT ASSET (NAP) looks the one to beat. Michael Wigham's charge has only had six races and produced his best run to date when tackling 1m6f at Wolverhampton where he didn't get the clearest of runs. He's been raised 3lb but looks capable of better and can get off the mark. Windsorlot is consistent enough at this level though prefers shorter while Essgee Nics has yet to finish in the first three in ten all-weather starts.
