Verdict

BUTHELEZI (NAP) went close to catching Nautilus in a tougher handicap at Newmarket last month with Shrewd five lengths behind. The winner has since gone in again and Brian Ellison's charge can go one better in this. Forced Family Fun has not raced since winning at Newcastle in April while Merchant Of Dubai has won just twice since 2010 with both wins coming at Musselburgh. Lexington Bay won this in 2011 off a higher mark and is preferred to Pressure Point and Thorntoun Care, both recent winners in a lower grade.
