Verdict

MUTAMARED won with a fair bit in hand last time and he stands out at the weights here, while Orpenindeed and Little Edward can also go well. Jamie Spencer has been booked for the mount on the selection, who goes well over this trip and in this grade, and looks likely to be very tough to beat given the way the weights are framed here. Little Edward acts well on the Polytrack and over this trip and we would be much more enthusiastic about his claims here if Ron Hodges' runners were in better shape. Orpenindeed has never won on an artificial surface but he has some decent form in defeat on the Polytrack, including here, and he is entitled to get closely involved. Buy On The Red is just a couple of pounds higher than his most recent turf success and with the first-time visor he can get very competitive, while Silver Wind is dropped back into claiming company and although not favoured by the weights compared to some he can run his race. Mutamared is taken to score.
