    Verdict

    Mujood won by the narrowest of margins when successful at Goodwood earlier this month on a softish surface and may be best watched on better ground today off his 3lb higher mark so the vote goes to Habshan, with Bustan looking the pick of the remainder. The selection lost no caste in defeat at Ascot on a soft surface on his reappearance, should be suited by the better ground today and looks worth chancing off what seems a fair mark. Rapid City ran better at Great Leighs last time and has to be considered, while Highland Harvest has been showing a consistent level of form in recent starts on the Polytrack and again when back on turf at Windsor last month and he has to be respected off the same mark today. Bustan was a narrow winner in a blanket finish at Sandown last time and has to be respected but he may struggle to follow up even off just a 1lb higher mark so the vote goes to Habshan.
