        Verdict

        Zain Farrh made a promising debut for Richard Fahey here in October and has joined Paul Webber. Iron Lion hasn't been beaten far in any of his three races while Jumeirah King has been placed three times on very testing ground in France so more rain won't do any harm. STAR AHOY attempted to make all in what looked a strong novices' event over a mile at Newmarket and battled back when headed two furlongs out. He's improved with each run and normal progress can see him off the mark.
