Verdict
ALRAASED drops back in trip after a narrow margin defeat over a mile at Pontefract. He finished well clear of the third on that occasion and can get off the mark here. Pashan Garh's recent improvement has been with plenty of cut in the ground and the lightly-raced Enrol makes more appeal stepping up a furlong. Gold Edition has a second on the Polytrack at this course to his credit and is preferred to stablemate Fairest while Easter Chorus is a newcomer to note in the betting.
