    Verdict

    The progressive MOSAKHAR bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins. He won a maiden before returning the wide-margin winner of his handicap debut and Ollie Pears’ charge can defy a rise in the weights. Directory has also been in good form here and an apprentice’s 7lb claim helps his cause today after a couple of placed efforts. He’s preferred to Brains, who landed a double at Chelmsford last month and debuts on the surface raised 8lb. Glory of Paris still looks to be treading water off his current mark and gets a change of headgear.
