TURNKEY looks the one they all have to beat in this claimer with only Mutamared rated to challenge and Gap Princess looking the best of the rest. Having struggled under high marks in handicap company the pick drops into a claimer for the first time to try and get back on the winning trail. His last two wins in handicap company came off a mark of 90, which highlights his ability, and on these terms is hard to oppose. Mutamared has gone off the boil since taking a handicap off a mark of 84 which give him plenty to find on the pick. That said he over turned unfavourable terms when landing one of these in January and at his very best is a danger. Gap Princess has to improve by many pounds to beat the two we've mentioned and while that looks a task beyond she is weighted well enough to grab a place. Beyond these three very little else makes appeal and this should be set up for Turnkey to turn the screw.
