Verdict

Richard Barber will be hoping a tongue tie helps Mustangsallyrally, who found little off the bridle when beaten between the flags last month. Chesnut Annie could only finish second at Black Forest Lodge when odds-on last time, while Liberty Rock has more to do than when winning at Lydstep. Different Trades was placed in a decent point-to-point at Buckfastleigh on his latest start but WHIZZAAR's run behind Turthen at Wincanton suggests he'll take all the beating in this grade.
