        Verdict

        ALHAMMAAM opened his account over 6f here last time when landing the odds in novice company. He stays this far and with an apprentice taking 5lb off his back, Stuart Williams can send out the winner for the third time in succession. Seesawing can figure if lasting home having placed over 7f on several occasions while Almaan also steps up from 7f and is expected to finish closer. El Camino won over track and trip in October but finished tailed off last time and Tie A Yellowribbon looks best of the rest.
