Racing Post verdict
Third-partyAlmuhit returns to a contest he landed twelve months ago off a mark just a pound higher than when he did so; he ran with purpose in a hurdle handicap last time, scoring readily under a front-running ride at the right trip and on a sound surface, and the claim from Harry Vigors brings his weight back to a manageable level. Baileys Khelstar has been highly consistent, coming second in his last two starts including over this distance two outings ago, and is the chief danger; Taritino landed a handicap decisively at a lower mark and brings form but has not been tried over this far. Almuhit is our selection.
