    Verdict

    Muntadab has been in terrific form and bids for a fourth win in five starts but he’s closely matched on the form book with Shawaamekh and the eye is drawn to FIRMAMENT, who looks as though he is finally coming to hand and has been dropped a further 3lb. Admirality is another starting to look well treated but Willie John has changed stables again while Zip may need to drop a few more pounds. Troubador has become disappointing but Coase, Cassy O and Liberated Lady have each-way claims and Candescence has been knocking on the door.
