      Verdict

      A winner at Newcastle in September, Rastacap has failed to threaten carrying a penalty on her last two outings despite finishing in a place. ETISALAT makes more appeal on the back of a debut third at Kempton when beaten only a length and Owen Burrows’ colt gets the nod to come out best with the expected normal progress. Baileys Excel is another likely improver while Taoiseach and Wazin are newcomers to note.
