Verdict

Canal Rocks beat a subsequent winner at Worcester in June but has been well beaten on the Flat since and might have preferred an easier surface. Karannelle looks in the handicapper’s grip now but Al Zaraqaan is interesting making his handicap debut along with the three-year-old Captain Square. In first-time cheekpieces and with a promising 7lb claimer on board, TARSEEM might be worth another chance as he ran two solid races around here in June.
