      Verdict

      Moktabes won well last time and is taken to get the better of Casemate and Indebted in a tight race for punters to call. The selection won without coming off the bridle when beating Dalpe last time and although this looks more competitive he looks to be on an upward curve and he should prove difficult to beat. Indebted rates the main danger on his latest second behind Trifti but his stable are out of form and at the likely odds we are prepared to take him on. Casemate is another worthy of respect as he won well last time and he goes particularly well on this surface. However, the second in that race Look Of Eagles has been beaten since so he looks vulnerable off this higher mark. Of the remainder Caragh Mia would have chances on her early season form but she has not progressed as expected and we will return to Moktabes to build on his latest emphatic success.
