MUSIC MASTER's (nap) form figures may not look impressive but he's been performing at a much higher level including in the Nunthorpe last time. He's occupied a minor place in three Group 1's since last summer and should get back to winning ways. Hallelujah was over 5l behind him last summer when receiving weight and is better on the all-weather and though Barracuda Boy is a decent sprinter his overall form cannot match that of the selection. Mobsta may well turn out to be smart though an absence since landing a maiden on soft ground at Doncaster in November is a concern.
