      In depth

      Verdict

      Music By Mozart can beat the frustrating Mr Sandicliffe, with Pititana likely to play a part as well. Peter Chappel-Hyam has hit form at the right time and that augurs well for the chances of Music By Mozart, a promising third on his only start to date at Lingfield in November. Related to plenty of winners, he is taken to stop Mr Sandicliffe from breaking his duck. Trainer Barry Hills is also in top form at present, but his challenger had plenty of opportunities as a juvenile and did not take any of them, so it is hard to be confident about him today. Pititana is fit and shaped well enough at Lingfield a fortnight ago, and will appreciate the extra furlong so should be involved, while the market should be noted as regards the rest of them. All in all we prefer the claims of Music By Mozart.
