      Verdict

      TAROOQ is still rated 95 but this seems to be his level nowadays. He has won a couple of claimers at Lingfield this year and David Barron's charges can usually be relied on to handle this surface. The remainder have plenty to find on today's terms and that includes course and distance winners Alpha Tauri and Abi Scarlet. The former finished well ahead of the latter when runner-up over track and trip last month with Daylight further behind. Amenable has won five times at the track but has the most difficult task of all at these weights.
