      Verdict

      Moomba was a disappointing favourite in a handicap at Sandown two weeks ago having placed in his first three starts of the year. He might be a short price in this and could be worth taking on with the newcomer LOSTWITHIEL, who is by Camelot and bred for this trip being a half-brother to three winners. Najima, also by Camelot, is improving with experience and looks the pick of the remainder.
