MUKTASB has been threatening to win a race for some time and now he returns to this venue we think he can take this tight handicap at the expense of Spoof Master while Lujiana might be value for a place. The pick is just one of two course and distance winners in the field and has been running some solid races in defeat recently. Over the years he's picked up plenty of place money here too and off his last winning mark he has every chance. Spoof Master is respected after his narrow miss under this burden last time. In the past this track has not been a happy hunting ground which is enough to put us off this time. Lujiana puts in his best work a Southwell, including back to back scores there in January, but plenty of Fibresand specialists have found success on this surface recently and on the pick of her form she should be able to mount a challenge. Angle Of Attack is also on the shortlist after a few near places following a comfortable success over this trip while Cwmni is the only last time out winner in the line-up and has every chance if building on that. A tricky race to kick off with but Muktasb has done enough recently to suggest he can win it.
