MUSICAL SLAVE can call the tune in the Listed Sky Bet Handicap Chase (3.15) at Doncaster.
The eight-year-old has bags of potential and will be primed by Philip Hobbs to deliver on Town Moor.
Fifth at Newbury on his return for the season in November, his cause was not helped by a couple mistakes, but he still finished just three-and-a-half lengths behind the winner.
The son of Getaway's two prior starts in 2020 hint that a mark of 137 is on the favourable side.
At Uttoxeter in March, he wasn't beaten far when giving weight to subsequent Tommy Whittle Handicap Chase winner Sams Adventure.
Ridden by today's jockey Tom O'Brien, he finished six lengths behind Caribean Boy at Haydock, now a 154-rated chaser.
Musical Slave has a progressive profile and with just 13 races on his record, back up in trip, there is more to come.
Christian Williams has worked wonders with Cap Du Nord and form lines from his runs are strong.
Aye Right could be the main danger to the selection however, fresh from a recent spin on the all-weather.
