GUGA gets the nod to land the seller; King's Masque and Special Cuvee can provide the sternest challenges. Ryan Moore partners Special Cuvee and the reigning champion jockey is sure to give the three-year-old plenty of assistance from the saddle. The drop back into selling grade is the right move for the gelding and, as he likes his racing at Yarmouth, he is a big threat today. King's Masque has dropped to this grade after a couple of moderate efforts. This would appear to be his level and, although he is none too consistent; he has to merit consideration in such a weak race. However, Guga has been in great form on the all-weather at Southwell and arrives here on the back of a couple of solid runs. Guga may have more to offer at this level and takes the eye as one to note for the most serious consideration.
