Group 3 winning sprinter MUSIC MASTER returned to action with a good effort behind Astaire in the Abernant at Newmarket. Henry Candy's charge should prove good enough on today's terms and is preferred to the progressive Pretend. The latter rattled-up a hat-trick earlier this year culminating with an impressive win in the All-Weather Sprint Championship and chould go close while Out Do arrives in fine form having won both starts so far this season in decent handicaps at Pontefract and York. Kingsgate Native is preferred to Intibaah over today's minimum trip while the likes of Musical Comedy, Justineo and Speed Hawk will need to step up on recent efforts to figure in the finish.
