Mutassem,. Kumakawa and Rocky Reppin all carry winners penalties, but should fight out the finish here and we will take a chance on the first named. The selection appears to have more scope than his two main rivals and following a victory here from Kumakawa, he wasn't disgraced when just pipped by Shift Night on the turf at Yarmouth. Kumakawa is weighted to reverse their form and will make a bold bid, but there may be more to come from Mutassem. Rocky Reppin holds his form well. He was a five length winner over course and distance back in February, and although he has a bit find with the other two on recent running, he should be vying for some place money. Marabar is the only other one to offer any threat and so in what appears to be a three horse race, Mutassem is the pick
