MUDITA hasn't found any further progress in 2 handicaps since her Ripon maiden success, but with stamina on the dam's side of her pedigree she could still have more to offer over this trip. She gets the vote ahead of Gaelic Approach, who had been holding his form well prior to last time, while Heathen could also be thereabouts.
