    Verdict

    Zain Nights looked to have a favourite's chance against older horses in the 7.10 at Newbury last night after a narrow defeat there last month so that result should be monitored. FIRST OFFICER has been dropped 1lb from his latest run on his handicap debut at Sandown where he would have gone close with a clear run - he can get off the mark here. Al Azhar has won twice at this trip this season, both in Class 5 handicaps, but he's 8lb higher than his victory at Newbury a couple of weeks ago. Super Stars showed plenty of promise last season but was beaten a long way at York last time.
