Verdict

MUSE OF FIRE went well for a long way on his recent comeback run over 2½m here and might be worth siding to build on that now dropping back in trip. His new stablemate Massini Man has a good record when fresh so he's a possible threat, while Heart of A Lion is an interesting chase newcomer from the Alan King yard.
