      Verdict

      Marzouq was raised 9lb for finishing second here last month and a 7lb claimer takes over the reins for this. The unbeaten Ocean Air is upped in class off a 6lb higher mark after scoring on handicap debut at Leicester while Fire Brigade went close in a lower grade race at Yarmouth last time. But FLEETING MOTION was not beaten far in a Class 3 conditions race at Ascot on her reappearance and she gets the nod now handicapping for the first time. Stablemates Sterling Silva and Warrior’s Spirit along with Rashford's Double, Doctor Bartolo and Native Soldier were well beaten on their respective comeback runs but all are capable of better in another open affair.
