Verdict

In the hope that the change of scenery (debut for new yard) has perked him up, MASQOOL gets the nod. He won off this mark at Chelmsford last summer and shades preference ahead of last week's C&D winner Mbappe and stablemate Galaxy Wonder. Each-way cases can be made for some of the others, most notably Berning Hot, who put in a good shift when third to Mbappe here recently, and Brinton.
