Verdict
Mustajed is arguably better on the all-weather nowadays and SQUAD makes more appeal. He's won on fast ground on the turf before, and his latest victory under today's rider on the Polytrack at Lingfield is working out well with the three horses behind having all won since, including the re-opposing Relative Strength. Chris Martin has won a couple of similar events on the all-weather this year but his ride Ay Tay Tate is still a maiden after 16 starts and recent Wolverhampton runner-up Jeer makes more appeal. Carr Hall and Odin's Raven are others to consider.
