      Verdict

      Mabel Jane only beat one home in a Listed race at Goodwood yesterday. Billy No Mates’ run at Thirsk last month should have blown away a few cobwebs and Aqwaam had a pipe-opener at Chelmsford. Matchless was a winner here just over a year ago and has been in good form over hurdles over the winter. Gibside won twice at Ripon last summer but VALSAD has the class to make a winning return. He was gelded after finishing third in a competitive handicap at Haydock last July when he didn’t get the run of the race. Lizzie Jean is best on the all-weather.
