The two with recent wins to their name look the pair to concentrate on, and we shall side with Mafaheem over Mister Incredible; A Teen, Saintly Place and Kassuta are three others worth a small mention. There are plenty of duck-eggs on show here, but Mafaheem was entitled to land a similar contest at Bath last time, after which he joined David Evans, and should put up a bold show for new connections in a race that will take little winning. Mister Incredible gained his first Turf success in a classified affair at Beverley and rates as the main danger on that effort at least, although it would be folly to rule out the nine-year-old A Teen on his best form. Tony Carroll and Stuart Williams are shrewd trainers, and any support for their respective runners, Saintly Place and Kassuta should be noted. However, it is Mafaheem that has the recent form in the bag and so merits being the selection.
