Verdict
Musarim arrives in good form having landed a double over 1m2f here earlier this month, but that's the furthest he's travelled so far. He beat Mahadee last time but the latter is better over today's trip and may reverse running. However, ROWAN RIDGE returned to winning ways over 1m4f here three weeks ago with Thecornishcowboy down the field and Bill Knight's charge gets the nod in the opener raised only 2lb. Sian Gwalia has a 6lb rise to contend with for last week's victory at Wolverhampton while Bert The Alert's earlier win came over 2m in a seller and he'll find this tougher.
