      Verdict

      Aljaryaal scored at Wolverhampton in November and was only beaten a neck on Southwell's new Tapeta surface last month. Well beaten on his only start here in 2020, he's obviously improved since then. FORGE VALLEY LAD won over 1m2f at Chelmsford but hasn't quite replicated that form over today's trip from 4lb higher though he finished second at Lingfield last time before being demoted. He's taken to get back on the winning trail though Blue Medici has been running in better company since beaten a short-head over the track and trip at this level. County Wicklow is still a maiden and has never been further than 1m2f.
