Verdict

MUSCLE MOUNTAIN (9) turned in another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to finish second to the Australian trained Gus over 1 ³/16m at Addington, adding to his impressive overall record. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Races well on the grass and has the talent to take this out. BET N WIN (8) ran sixth last start at Addington over 1 ³/16m, beaten 17 metres in the same race as the top selection. Expect him to be prominent. MIGHTY LOGAN (10) cannot be ruled despite the tricky draw. Best form give him a definite winning chance. MR LOVE (12) is next in line but might need a few good breaks from an awkward draw.
