Verdict

A really strong handicap with plenty capable on their best form but BIELSA looked a sprinter going places when last seen in the spring and if he is ready to go after his break could maintain his unbeaten record. No shortage of dangers and last year winner Muscika should go well in his repeat bid while Jawwaal shaped well at York on latest and has more to offer.
