      Verdict

      Motaraabet didn’t show much on his reappearance but it’s interesting that he remains in training. Goscote fared better at Wolverhampton and is also lightly raced but the four-year-olds will struggle to give weight to BRASCA (NAP). Ralph Beckett’s charge has been gelded since out-battling Waterfront over 1m2f at Chelmsford in November and should relish this longer trip. Voice Of Salsabil is a half-sister to four winners but she only cost €11,000.
