      Verdict

      Airton dead-heated for first in a lower grade handicap here last time while Paris Magic won a maiden over track and trip and Hard To Handel has won a couple of plating races recently. Isharah has been getting closer and is preferred to Island Flame but the latter’s stablemate, MASTERPAVER, looks the one to side with. Richard Fahey’s charge drops in class having finished a close-up fourth at Wolverhampton and has won off higher marks on the all-weather before.
