9/2

Much better effort when winning 9-runner minor event (9/4) at Southwell (7.1f) 34 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Up in trip and can do better, but has a stiff penalty.

Forecasts

Mashaaer (9/4), Mellow Yellow (11/4), Moon De Vega (3/1), Delphinus (4/1), Mystic Wells (9/2), Peripatetic (13/2), Queens Ballet (12/1), Homer's Girl (50/1), La Belle Vie (125/1)

MASHAAER ran to a decent level on debut at Ascot, despite seeming very green, and should be winning sooner rather than later. Mellow Yellow also shaped well first time up and is bound to improve, with the longer trip a plus. Mystic Wells has a stiff penalty to carry but can't be discounted.
