Verdict

Mungo Park is an enigmatic performer but might be worth a second look in this tricky handicap. Sent on the long journey from the north-east to Salisbury earlier in the month he ran well without managingto land a serious blow and it is significant that Michael Dods has chosen to send him back on a recovery mission. Mousehole has fallen to a very attractive mark and despite his age shouldn't be underestimated with Seb Sanders on board. Our Fred and Sunley Sense are others with claims in a tough heat whilst with Mark Usher's horses running so well at present it wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see Roxanne Mill pop up at a decent price.
