In depth

Verdict

Woodcraft and Best Of Gold are two well bred newcomers to keep an eye on in the betting, but we will select the most exposed runner in the line-up Masai Moon, Mujma is another worthy of respect. The selection failed to get his head in front in six attempts as a juvenile but did earn a rating of 75 with some decent placed efforts. His experience with stand him in good stead against these ravals and he gets our tentative vote. Mujma is from a top yard and cost a fair bit of money. He is probably a lot better than he has shown so far and should be watched closely in the betting. The same applies to Best Of Gold, a well bred son of Montjeu and Woodcraft, who hails from the same family line as Guineas hero Haafed. So plenty here with scope but we will stick with known form and select Masai Moon.
