Mutoon could have got in quite lightly for her handicap debut and she is chosen ahead of Satyricon and Ten A Penny. The selection ran a blinder on her penultimate start when chasing home the Mark Prescott trained Serpentaria. That winner is rated in the early seventies and there were some decent types behind so the form looks pretty solid. She did disappoint here last time but on saying that it did look a very hot race. She is open to more improvement and is given another chance this afternoon. Satyricon landed a modest handicap last time but is open to plenty of improvement and should be capable of reaching the frame. Ten a Penny landed a Wolverhampton maiden in good style last time and hasn't been given too hard a task by the assessor. Meanwhile Miss Saafend Plaza is a consistent type and may also be fighting for a place. All in all a competive event and Mutoon is a sporting choice.
