In depth

Verdict

MUJASSAM has been raised 5lb for a recent course and distance success but is still taken to confirm running with second-placed Tricky Dicky as the latter looks high enough in the weights. Crosse Fire finished well behind the selection while Hammer Gun is best on this surface but all four previous course wins have been over longer trips including last week’s success over 7f. Pearl Nation was beaten by a much lower rated horse in a seller here last time while Handsome Dude drops down a grade but has yet to race on the Fibresand.
