Verdict
Alshaqee drops in class and beat Dark Side Princess in a maiden race here last month. The latter has since beaten Cool Silk Boy and Men United over track and trip while Gorokai won his maiden in good style at Lingfield and goes handicapping for the first time. Modest scored in this grade at Southwell a fortnight ago and is upped 5lb but a chance is taken on ADHAM. He also drops in class for this having faced a tough task in a conditions race at Lingfield and could go close now handicapping with headgear applied for the first time.
