Partners In Jazz may just need the run returning from a break so the vote goes to Electric Warrior ahead of Mezuzah. Karl Burke made a promising start to April and will be looking to continue that good form with Electric Warrior. A good second three weeks ago, the horse still looks progressive and could be up to defying this mark of 81 with the in-form Paul Hanagan aboard. Wessex and Mujood are two for the shortlist although the former will need to bounce back after a couple of disappointing runs, albeit in better company. Eve Johnson Houghton has her horses in good form so Mujood may be of more interest, especially if able to build on his good third last time out. Capricorn Run should be watched in the market for signs of support whilst Mezuzah can be a bit in and out but his third last time out reads well and he rates a danger. An open contest then, and Electric Warrior gets the nod.
