      Verdict

      MOUNTAIN FOREST is taken to land his hat-trick while both Dansimar and Mustajed are worthy of mention. The selection has landed races on the all weather at Southwell and Kempton and bids for a third win back on the turf. He looks fairly treated for what he has achieved and if translating his recent form onto turf he is sure to go close. Dansimar has been a decent handicapper over hurdles for Venetia Williams however he is still a maiden on the flat. He was rated as high as 140 at his best over jumps so if at his best he can be in the shake up. Mustajed has won seven times in his career to date and has been performing well in staying events on the all weather over the winter. His most recent run suggests improvement will be required so he should be treated with caution. Mountain Forest comes into the race in fine form and he can add to his winning tally.
