Verdict

Mister Becks edges preference over Mujelle, while Hillbilly Cat has to be respected after winning over c&d three days ago but has more on his plate under a 6lb penalty in this slightly stiffer contest. That said, David Barron's runners are holding their form well at present and another bold bid cannot confidently be ruled out. Even so, he is not one to trust implicitly and would make limited appeal at cramped odds. Mujelle won his maiden here last December but was a little below par in two subsequent starts. Admittedly this is a touch easier than the Newmarket race he ran in last time and he could very easily bounce back here. Nevertheless, Mister Becks looks a more sporting option when the best of his efforts are taken into account. John McAuley got a real tune out of the three-year-old here 18 days ago and a similar effort would bring the partnership right into the reckoning. McAuley's 5lb does him no harm and a bold bid is anticipated.
