Verdict

MUMAYAZ put up a career-best effort at the age of 7 when bolting up at Leicester last Saturday and Tony Carroll's charge will take all the beating under a penalty if in the same mood. Safari Dreams was a dual C&D winner around this time last season, and he looks the one most likely to chase the selection home, with Strike rounding off the shortlist.
