    Verdict

    Whozthecat, a useful sprinter at his best, suggested a return to form latest but all winning form has come on good ground or better, although he's one to keep an eye after that latest run. Kenny The Captain's last run is safely ignored and previous efforts bring him into the equation. Runners from the Easterby yard performed well over the weekend. Balance is fascinating on the back of a single juvenile outing when successful at Haydock last October and hopefully the market will prove an accurate signpost to her chances on this handicap bow. All six of Goninodaethat's wins have come here and he was a solid second at the track last week too and must be respected but Irish raider HAQEEBA just gets the nod. She's still a maiden but has run really well the last twice in decent handicaps, handles soft ground and inhabits a decent mark.
