    Verdict

    Maraakib is upped a grade under a penalty as he bids for a treble after landing an amateurs race at Doncaster. Berland went close at Windsor and can figure again but Golden Jubilee's defeat of Compton Bird over track and trip came in a Class 6 contest and he'll find this tougher. Memory Cloth should be thereabouts on ground that will suit and Clowance One won his maiden over 1m4f at Kempton last time, though another maiden winner in WEETLES is just preferred. The latter scored by six lengths at Windsor and this extra distance should be within her compass on that evidence.
