    Verdict

    Harbour City and Loveheart have shown some promise but look more like handicap types and Almahha makes a belated debut late in the season so the market may provide the best guide to her ability. Qatar Queen has a first start for James Fanshawe after showing decent ability on debut in a Kempton novice last month and looks a sure-fire improver but NAZEEF (NAP) has looked a performer of potential on both starts for John Gosden - he appeared to score with plenty in hand at Newmarket last time.
