Kumasi was returning from a very long break when scoring over the track and trip in August so can't be dismissed. Mujid is 7lb lower than his last winning mark though hasn't been finding much at the business end. VILLALOBOS had been racing over further before dropping to this trip and running well at Bath and a similar effort can see him back on the winning trail. Starry Eyes is on a long losing run and was beaten in a claimer last time.
