        Verdict

        Plenty of recent winners on show though only IBRAZ was successful at this level. Roger Varian’s charge won nicely over today’s trip at Ripon and can go in again. Bedouin's Story returned to winning ways over 7f at York and is preferred to returning stablemate Commander Cole despite a 7lb rise while both Maamora and Universal Gleam are others upped a grade off higher marks having won at Sandown and Redcar respectively. Solar Heights takes an even bigger step up in class after returning a wide-margin winner over track and trip but Qaroun looks no nearer getting his head in front.
