Verdict
False Id has been winning over further and carries 5lb extra bidding for a hat-trick. Waqt won over 7f at Lingfield earlier when ahead of Kafeel while Sharp Operator could pop-up at any time off his current mark. Aqua Libre and Ubla have been thereabouts at Wolverhampton recently and are others with a shout but KHAZIX is preferred. The latter has tumbled down the weights since last summer and having found only one too good over track and trip on his first start for new connections, looks capable of finally opening his account.
