Verdict

River Kirov looks to have a good chance now dropped into this company and he can score from Exit Strategy. Michael Wigham's charge has slipped a stone in the weights when handicapping and is pitched into this grade for the first time. Last of ten on his most recent outing, this soft ground should be ideal for him according to his pedigree and he can take advantage in this weak affair. Exit Strategy got up in the closing stages to win here over c&d last time and has shown some reasonable form in defeat on soft ground, so even though he looks up against it at the weights with the selection he is respected. Stablemate Majestical doesn't look favoured by today's going, and the same goes for Mudhish, who may have been over rated by the assessor. River Kirov is the one for us.
