Mohayer drops in class and gets the nod here, with Torkinking and Ma Yahab looking best of the rest. The selection was far from disgraced behind Supreme Novices' favourite Amaretto Rose on his last run, and faces nothing of her quality in today's contest. The stable is in decent form at present and he looks sure to run a big race. Ma Yahab is consistent, however his mark looks slightly prohibitive at present, although he handles the ground well so must have place claims. As must Torkinking despite carrying top-weight. He hammered a decent field at Wetherby in January before disappointing slightly next time out when well beaten by the classy Afsoun. His record suggests that he is all or nothing (eight wins but only two places from 24 attempts) so if on a going day he must be a danger on ground that he loves. Thenford Flyer put up an improved effort to finish runner up to William Bonney at Cheltenham, the form of which has since been franked. He must be watched in the market, as should Wizard Of Us who is the only course and distance winner in the lineup. This is a decent little contest, but we will side with Mohayer to appreciate the drop in class and to lead them all home.
