If the money is down then the horse to be on here is Mick Easterby's Trouble Mountain with the unexposed Dissident and the consistent Most Saucy as the main dangers. Some excellent efforts in defeat on the AW over the winter as well a a decent effort at Beverley on his return to turf mark this gelding down as the most likely winner of this moderate contest. With stable jockey Paul Mulrenhan booked and the ground not a problem he looks set to score for his in-form trainer. Most Saucy has run a string of good efforts to his name since his last win at Epsom in July and should be suited to this step down in trip. Dissident and the game Game Guru are closely matched on their running recently at Warwick with Dissident the type to improve for this trip. However Trouble Mountain looks poised to record his first victory since coming home ahead of his field at Beverley around this time of the year last season.
