Verdict

Desert History won a handicap over track and trip in August with First Greyed well beaten but struggled in soft going here last time, albeit in Listed company. Miramichi never figured on his handicap debut and is fitted with headgear while course and distance winner Run This Way finished well behind RHOSCOLYN when the latter placed at Newcastle last month. Charlie Hills’ charge is 4lb lower today and should go close if handling the testing ground.
