      Verdict

      Azraff tries his hand at a longer trip after a comeback second at Kempton but there are no doubts about GLOBAL FORCE staying the distance. He scored over track and trip on his reappearance and there should be more to come now handicapping. Muqtaser was narrowly beaten in a handicap over course and distance recently ahead of Lostock Hall with Captain Navarre well beaten. He has strong claims and is preferred to the other maiden winners Brotherly Company and Marma's Boy. Better was expected from Mustard on his return to action but it's too soon to write him off.
