Past Master has a smart pedigree and though not seen since a couple of decent efforts as a juvenile his stable have no problems getting one ready. Meccabah has had plenty of chances but is unlucky not to have won by now and was only beaten a nose when tackling this trip at Goodwood in the summer. Dash Of Spice chased home a useful type at Epsom in October and with progress likely has to be a threat though the vote goes to MUNDERSFIELD. David Simcock's filly caught the eye when staying on over the extended mile at Wolverhampton on last month's debut and her pedigree suggests she'll be ideally suited by stepping up in trip.
