      Verdict

      Al Rasmah showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when placed at Wolverhampton and Pholas returns to her winning trip after finishing second over 7f. But a change of headgear and the return to a mile did the trick for HOLD FAST when getting her head back in front at Kempton. She beat the previous winners Luna Wish and Lady Alavesa in the process and can go in again. The latter disappointed on that occasion having earlier finished in front of Dream World but Dancing Rave is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best.
