        Verdict

        Zarrar completed a double here at the end of last year but returns to action while Sir Prize failed to land a hat-trick of course wins when only fourth here back in February. Gold Arch was well beaten at Ripon last time having won at Wolverhampton earlier while WANAASAH carries a 6lb penalty after scoring at the latter track last week. But Dave Loughnane’s filly will likely be raised by more in the future having returned a wide-margin winner on that occasion and can strike again while the iron is hot.
