Verdict
Mumayaz reverts to 7f with a shout having scored over a shorter trip here on his penultimate outing. King Of Ithaca showed signs of a return to form when third over C&D, but a chance is taken on MAXIMISING. The son of Circus Maximus posted his best effort so far when third in a decent maiden at Yarmouth back in July and returns to the fray with plenty of scope for improvement now handicapping for the first time.
Expert View Verdict
Handicap newcomer Maximising is almost certainly capable of better still after just three runs, but there's no denying he was flattered when last seen at Yarmouth in the summer, so it may be best siding with MUMAYAZ, who was better than the result at Wolverhampton last time and looks ready for this step back up in trip. King Of Ithaca is a past C&D winner who ran well from off the pace last time and he's entitled to respect also.
