      Verdict

      Weld Al Emarat ran green on his debut at Southwell but still managed to score. He is well bred and has bags of scope so could be a lot better than his current handicap mark suggests. Little Lady Katie would have every chance if able to reproduce her run in a nursery at Newmarket in October. She's 7lb higher but Jordan Vaughan's claim takes care of a chunk of that. TADQEEQ only won a Wolverhampton maiden last year but returned to action in a hot handicap at Musselburgh won by Moonlightnavigator and ran very well. He's gone up 4lb since but that rise was justified and he'll be a tough nut to crack here with that run under his belt. Intiwin was a consistent sort last year and should win more races but this is a step up in class for Al Bandar and both Assault On Rome and Sakhee's Return also have a bit to prove.
