Mustang Ali, Rehearsed and Maystock are the three for the shortlist with Mustang Ali taken to come out on top. After some disappointing efforts, Rehearsed won here last time although it didn't look the strongest of races. He is overlooked. Maystock has run well in defeat recently at Newmarket and looks set to run another sound race although he may be a little high in the weights and a place is the best he can hope for. Mustang Ali is not the most consistent of horses but won decisively at Folkestone on his latest start. That was only his third career win in thirty nine starts but a chance is taken that Mustang Ali can follow up.
