Career best effort when 1L fourth in a Listed contest at Sandown (good) on his final start of last season. Respectable effort when 4L 10th in a competitive 1m handicap at Goodwood (soft) earlier this month on his first start since and an interesting runner from a wide draw here.

Winning for the fourth time when scoring on his first outing since being gelded over 1m at Windsor (good) last month but well held upped to 1m2f at Goodwood (good) subsequently. Hood worn on those occasions is left off today.

Disappointing in two starts so far this season finishing last on each occasion. Most recent effort came in a soft ground Listed contest over 1m at Pontefract last month and has a bit to prove at present.

Ran well when finishing a close third off this mark at Sandown (1m, good-to-firm) on his most recent outing. Yet to race on turf and likely to put up a bold show as he bids to make a winning AW debut in this contest.

Successful twice in a seven race career including when breaking his maiden over 7f on the AW last November. Stays well having won over 1m2f at Newmarket since and one of the more likely winners of this contest.

Placed twice over 1m2f here earlier this year but well held in the main since. Could finish only ninth over C&D last week and others make more appeal here.

Victorious over 7f at Newcastle on this surface in June but well beaten on his return to turf in a competitive Hamilton handicap over 6f the following month. Races off a mark 2lb higher than for that Newcastle success today.

Finished runner-up twice over around this trip on turf last month and put in respectable efforts the last twice. Likely to race close to the pace in this contest.

Verdict

MUNTAZAH ran well when finishing third off this mark at Sandown last time out and he can gain his second career success and first in handicaps by making a winning AW debut today. The selection attempted to make all when last in action and can get the better of Leshlaa who has won on this surface in the past and ran well when finishing third in a valuable handicap at Royal Ascot on his penultimate outing. Mustashry wasn't beaten far on his seasonal debut earlier this month and can claim third today.
