MUSTADUN drops in class having failed to win a handicap and looks to have leading claims on these terms if running up to his mark. Max Guevara was winning off a higher mark last year but finished last of six in a seller at Leicester earlier while Seafaring Girl won at Chepstow last month but was also beaten in selling company before that. Ample Plenty was well beaten at Chelmsford last time though has a shout at the weights but it’s difficult to make a case for either Melo Pearl or Olaf.
