      Verdict

      Daafr was all out to land a hat-trick of course wins last time and faces an even tougher test raised a further 4lb. Richard Fahey has a strong hand running both Star Of St James and DELPH CRESCENT. The former landed a course and distance double with his latest success and is 6lb higher today while the latter beat only two rivals when making a winning debut on the Fibresand but scored with a bit to spare and there looks more to come on this surface. Zylan has been winning over 6f here while Power Over Me has been in fine form over the same distance on the Polytrack
