        Verdict

        KHABIB won easily at Beverley despite a high draw and Ray Craggs' charge can go in again with further progress on the cards. Van Gerwen has plenty to find with the selection while Roydmoor disappointed at Beverley last time having earlier placed in a maiden handicap at Redcar. Auckland Lodge is creeping closer as she slips down the weights and Secret Eagle has more scope than most.
