      Verdict

      Murhib has been competing over 2m recently though landed a course and distance double back in April. Damned Elusive, Fandabidozi and The Vegas Raider have all notched up a string of placed efforts and Red Glory finished third at Lingfield last time. Good Soul and FAR TOO BEAUTIFUL were both beaten on their respective handicap debuts but the latter still looked green when fading in the closing stages over today’s trip at Nottingham and should know more today.
