Verdict

Silverturnstogold has looked high enough in the weights in a couple of subsequent outings since notching-up a four-timer at the track. But Masham Star will take advantage of a slip down the weights before long though debuts on the surface. Motawaafeq was placed over track and trip just three days ago and is preferred to Zeyzoun but the unexposed PARALLEL WORLD gets the vote. Karl Burke’s charge defied a penalty to land a double over 7f here in novice company last time and with this extra distance likely to suit on his handicap debut, he looks the one to beat.
