Verdict
Mulzamm was always travelling well when getting up close home over 7f here on Tuesday so the drop in trip shouldn't pose a problem though a 6lb penalty makes his task more difficult. His stable companion Lincoln, a winner at Fairyhouse early last month, is still on a fair mark despite a defeat at the Curragh last weekend. Eastern Racer won his ninth race when battling to victory over the track and trip on Monday and though 6lb higher has won off higher marks in the past. THE MPEX KID, who was beaten 4 lengths in that latter event, didn't get the clearest of runs and should get much closer on these terms so gets the nod in a tricky handicap. Darkened appreciated stepping up to and extended mile here on Tuesday while Capel At Dawn also appears better over further. Ultra Dawn looked to have a chance in the 3.45 yesterday so that result should be monitored.
