Verdict
AL NAFOORAH has finished runner-up in three of her five starts including a handicap here earlier this month. That could be good enough to go one better in what looks a moderate contest. Armagnac's best run has come on Tapeta and he was soon done with last time on this track but Broad Appeal made a successful debut at Kempton and led for a long way on his reappearance at Windsor. Musikel landed a Newcastle maiden on his debut for Karl Burke but finished last when stepped up to handicap company at Newmarket.
