      Verdict

      Maajdah failed to land the odds over the minimum trip here without any obvious excuses but Araifjan won over 5f at Yarmouth before placing over track and trip. Yimou gets no respite from the handicapper having found one too good yet again last time so a chance is taken on IGOTATEXT. He was having only his second start of the year and first since April when fading in the closing stages at Salisbury and should be sharper today having won in this grade last year.
