        Verdict

        Creme Brulee is selected here ahead of Muktasb and Detonate. First-time blinkers might perk up Creme Brulee and he is a tentative choice here as his promise came when winning a maiden. He is often placed, and Muktasb could repeat the dose here. Plenty of the others need to improve by three or four pounds if they are to win although Blushing Russian is maybe open to some improvement at today's trip. Over To You Bert has remained competitive since winning, but he too falls into that category just referred to, while King Of Charm is lightly raced and has shown some promise and might favour going right-handed than when running at Kempton last time. Finally, Detonate would hold claims if getting back to last year's winter best and Alucica certainly showed improvement last time. For the selection, though, we will stick with Creme Brulee.
