A tricky finale but Mzuri Bay has claims on his form in the autumn and Oscar Sierra wasn't beaten far when fourth at Towcester last month. Marie Deja La is usually thereabouts and Warsaw Pact has been placed in his last four starts, though is just starting to creep up the weights again. Mexican Bob convincingly ended a long losing run over a longer trip here 10 days ago and should go close again, despite a penalty, but there is almost certainly more to come from CHARLIE WINGNUT. He's been catching the eye in decent novice events and doesn't look overburdened on his handicap debut dropped in grade.
