        Verdict

        None of these inspire confidence but AJRAD wasn’t beaten far when only fifth in a tougher contest here a fortnight ago and gets another chance. Gherkin has done most of his racing and all of his winning so far over 6f while Latent Heat’s victory here in February came over a mile. Otago is back on a winning mark while Mr Fayez gets a change of headgear.
