      Verdict

      Motawaafeq beat Custard The Dragon by only a head over track and trip last time and the latter re-opposes on slightly better terms. Olivers Pursuit landed a double at Wolverhampton with last month’s victory and can figure if taking to this surface but a chance is taken on PIVOTAL DECISION (NAP). Placed in novice company, she makes her handicap debut with James Tate’s yard in flying form and her half-sister Highland Dress has won on the Fibresand. Casina Di Notte has placed here but has yet to win on the all-weather in 17 attempts while London and Headland are harder to recommend.
