In depth

Verdict

Murhib has been in consistently good form this year and won over track and trip a fortnight ago. He should go well again but SHARP SUITED (NAP) makes more appeal. He drops down in class having been beaten only a neck when third at Wolverhampton and Brian Ellison’s charge can race off the same mark here. Jazz Party won a novices race at Kempton last summer while Cochise has been off the track even longer having scored over 2m1f at Bath in 2019. Mahanakhon Power also returns to action while Chocolate Box has placed over longer trips recently.
