      Verdict

      Rated 95, WAFY is taken to defy a penalty. He’s been competing in Group 3 company since winning a conditions race at Sandown last term and is preferred to Qawamees and Bawaasil, who share ownership with the selection. Employer is also penalised for winning a novices event at Windsor and the likes of Mutafan and Drill may improve past him having both shown improved form on their latest starts. Rapier, Team Decision and Player's Luck hail from powerful yards but have yet to threaten.
