      Verdict

      Edraak is out a 7f winner and cost 82,000gns but Jim Crowley wears the owner’s first colours of ALRAJAA, who already has valuable experience and was second to Aluqair on his belated reappearance at Salisbury when Auntie June finished last and Four Feet unseated her rider leaving the stalls. Plum Duff showed very little on debut at Kempton in February and has moved yards since.
