        Verdict

        Goodwood Rebel placed at Haydock last week and drops in class while Falconidae has a shout on a recent second at Beverley. Astroman scored at Wolverhampton on his handicap debut with Divine Connection not far behind in third but Jaaneh was well beaten at Doncaster handicapping for the first time. Windsor third Arafi is one of the least exposed but ASCRAEUS also has plenty of scope having won a maiden at Wolverhampton on her comeback and Andrew Balding’s filly gets the nod.
