      Verdict

      Musahaba gave notice of an imminent victory when beaten a length here and duly obliged with an easy victory on the track on Friday. However, he has a 4lb penalty and Lexington Warfare, who beat him a length in that penultimate run, is better off at the weights so should confirm the form. Willing To Please didn't run well on his only start on the track but has definitely improved and a 3lb rise for her Carlisle victory looks manageable. FENNAAN won here a year ago and has looked on the way back to form in his last two starts, both Class 5 events and the latest on this track. He's now on his lowest ever mark and can get back to winning ways.
