      Verdict

      KHAIRAAT did well last season, winning at Pontefract and Doncaster. There will almost certainly be more to come this year and a tilt at bigger prizes will be on the cards if everything goes well on his handicap debut. Brorocco won the City And Suburban at Epsom last month and has only been raised 4lb. The second wasn’t disgraced in a hot handicap at Newmarket on Saturday so Andrew Balding’s charge is respected. Mistiroc ran very well at Newcastle last time but has also gone up 4lb for that. Berkshire has a touch of class and also an excellent strike-rate on Turf so is another to consider.
