        Verdict

        Rawaafed has been placed over longer trips on Polytrack and could figure. By contrast, BROOKE'S BOUNTY steps up in distance after finding one too good in both outings over 6f last term. His dam won over today's distance and Richard Fahey's charge gets the nod. Lightning Launch also has decent claims on his third over a mile at Haydock in August but the others with experience make no appeal. Mojave Desert is a half-sister to a winner in Italy and is preferred to fellow newcomer Royal Duchess.
