      Verdict

      FIREWORKS has been off the track since second at Newmarket in May. But he was beaten by Derab, now rated 113, on that occasion and the Haggas charge can open his account having been subsequently gelded. General Sago is weighted to beat As If By Chance back in novice company having placed in a Pontefract handicap but the less-exposed Blades Equal may improve past him. Lantana Dancer has plenty of improvement to find.
