      Verdict

      Zaidiyn appears to have the beating of Drunken Counsel on a line through Ebony Express, who runs earlier on the card. Notnowsam beat Master Clockmaker by seven lengths over course and distance last month but the latter was making his hurdling debut that day and there may not be much between the pair on today's revised terms. Konig Dax has his first start in the country but should win races in time and Future Security was third here 11 days ago, ahead of Typhon and Danehill Flyer, though shapes as though he needs further. Argot has scope but John Ferguson rarely wastes a trip to this track and BUCKWHEAT (NAP) is his only runner today. The yard is in great form and this son of Manduro was contesting group races on the Flat in Dubai around this time last year so might have too much for these if taking to the winter game - the booking of A P McCoy is a positive.
