Dear Member

Humbert obviously has huge claims but he’s far too short and the more experienced well handicapped Mythical Madness looks better value. He won this race last year of 97 and today runs of 94, he has been competing in very good handicaps ever since but this represents his easiest assignment for some time. Adam Kirby has been booked which is an obvious positive and as long as they go a good even gallop Mythical Madness should give the fav a lot to think about.

Mount Tahan brings in by far the best form and really has hit new heights in terms of form on his last two starts over this C and D. The step up in trip has worked wonders and he won last time out a shade comfortably despite the winning margins suggesting it was a very tight finish. A 3lb rise is more than lenient and this is easier than that race. Maratha is the obvious danger receiving weight but the form of his run last time out has been knocked and he did get the run of the race. Mount Tahan is the play to me in here.
