Verdict

LESHLAA edges this at the weights and further progress is expected after winning a handicap over track and trip last time. He’s preferred to another sporting Godolphin's colours in Valcartier, who won a maiden in good style at Nottingham last month. Call To Mind also won a maiden race at Newbury on his debut but is upped in class along with handicap winner Desert Skyline. Grey Britain and Majoris have come up short in Listed company so far and look exposed. Zumurudee was beaten in a handicap on the all-weather recently and Assanilka has plenty find on these terms.
