Verdict

Thedeboftheyear was beaten a long way when favourite at Exeter earlier this month and it's almost two years since she was last in the winner's enclosure. Mobaasher is not the force of old and his recent placed form has been in point-to-points while West End Classic has a long absence to overcome. Mystic Appeal is interesting, however, as he will appreciate the return to a longer trip having got slightly outpaced at Exeter last time. Minella Gathering could also be a factor but PRASINA RUSSATA makes his handicap debut off a potentially lenient mark and can take advantage of that fact.
