        Verdict

        Lavaspin has been a revelation since switching to this track, winning two minor handicaps in great style before impressing when beating Switzerland in a much better race three weeks ago. The latter was conceding a stone so theoretically at least should come out on top this time though the winner keeps getting better with every run. Nine Below Zero, who finished third, didn't appreciate stepping up to 7f a week later but still looks held. Comicas started favourite for this a year ago but broke a blood vessel and performed badly in two runs in Australia in the autumn. Drafted ran over a mile on this card a year ago but has done much better since dropped to today's trip and scored at this level in January. However, he had less than a length to spare over TATO KEY and as that was the latter's first run since June and he was making his debut for new connections he's entitled to come on markedly and can reverse the places. Thammin dropped down to 5f to land a Listed contest at Jebel Ali last month and has no problems with the extra while the Sweden-trained I Kirk made a big impression when making all in a handicap over the course and distance in January.
