      Verdict

      ZAINALARAB is open to further improvement now handicapping. He’s going the right way having defied a penalty when successful at Chester and most of today’s opposition have something to prove. Global Esteem scored over track and trip recently when winning by a neck but that was in a lower grade while Al Rufaa’s losing run stretches back to 2020, though he’s back on a winning mark. The same comment applies to Tomfre but Gisburn has yet to win over this far.
