5/1
Not won since 2014 but fallen to a very fair mark and only just touched off last time at Windsor over this trip. Leading claims from just 1lb higher in the handicap.

C&D winner here earlier in the season but seemingly amiss on his next two runs. Doesn't look a straightforward type but capable of scoring off this mark when it all clicks.

5/2
Winner at Wolverhampton last season but very disappointing favourite at Thirsk last time out. Worth giving another chance to though and may do better on faster ground. Can't be ruled out with very few miles on the clock.

8/1
Hit and miss sort who was a C&D winner earlier in the summer. Struggled off her revised mark the last twice and clearly not a straightforward sort (can start slowly and run in snatches) but may do better wearing first-time cheekpieces.

Winner twice for Jamie Osborne but held in both runs for current stable so far including on first outing since being gelded at Bath (good) over an extended 5f last time. Back down to his last winning mark today but others make more appeal.

14/1
Only recorded one win from 31 turf starts and he's seemingly a better horse on the AW. Badly out of form on turf in recent starts and well beaten over C&D here last month. Looks opposable.

Off the mark at the eighth attempt at Windsor last time when all out to win. That not the most competitive affair despite the field size and needs to improve on first start for new yard.

14/1
Not won since 2015 but on a very workable mark as a result. Very disappointing on return from a mini-absence here last time out and may come on for that effort but she's probably a little better over further.

6/1
Most of his best efforts on turf have come on softer ground than what he's set to get here and he's generally a better horse on the AW. Well beaten with this jockey in the saddle on his latest two runs and probably worth opposing again.

Forecasts

Mulzim (5/2), Musical Comedy (5/1), Commanche (6/1), Miracle Garden (6/1), Cat Silver (7/1), In The Spotlight (8/1), Picture Dealer (11/1), Big Lachie (12/1), Plucky Dip (14/1), Fever Few (14/1)

Verdict

MUSICAL COMEDY arrives here on a very attractive handicap mark and he's taken to defy top-weight and back up his latest effort at Windsor. Mulzim is still unexposed and may do better but In The Spotlight may prove the main danger if she returns to form after a couple of disappointing runs.
