    Verdict

    Nibras Rainbow has won on this surface but his best performances have come on the all-weather. NIGHTOUT appeared to handle fast ground last summer so not too much should be read into the fact that his best performances have come on going with plenty of give. Aihawawi is 0-11 and has only placed on Tapeta so far but Azeezan has to be worth a market check making his handicap debut after just three runs.
