Mysterium can overcome a break to beat Vincent in the seller, with Hajeer and Landescent best watched in the market. Nick Littmoden has given Mysterium a breather since his last race in which he once again finished third, having occupied that position in each of his three previous outings as well. Five of the gelding's 10 career victories have come at Wolverhampton and this is a drop in class to help his cause as well. In addition Jean-Pierre Guillambert takes three pounds off his back, so he should prove hard to beat. Vincent has won here in the past but seems to prefer Southwell. Nevertheless, despite the drop back in trip, he should go well and looks to be the main danger to the selection. Despite the assistance of Lisa Jones, Hajeer has a bit more to do along with Landescent, so Mysterium is a confident selection.
