Verdict

Musical Gift is still a maiden but he has strong claims here and gets the vote ahead of El Palmar and Mr Bountiful. Geoff Huffer's gelding has been rated as high as 70 in the past and showed he was no back number when chasing home Petana in a Wolverhampton claimer last time. He drops to selling company for the first time today and should be capable of beating these poor performers. El Palmar steps back into selling company after running well in a competitive handicap last time and must enter calculations. Mr Bountiful has similar claims, as he ran a cracker to finish just two lengths behind Quantum Leap in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Ziet d'Alsace is always a threat in this type of event and is worthy of plenty of respect, but Musical Gift has a lot in his favour today and is a confident selection
