      Verdict

      Echo Ridge wasn't disgraced when fourth at Salisbury last month but gives the impression she'll be suited by an extra furlong. Muffraaj ran King Ferdinand to a neck at Chester on his reappearance and is knocking on the door but EXPOSE, successful at Wolverhampton in September and backed as though defeat was out of the question in a hot nursery at Doncaster subsequently, could just be a bit better than this grade and is fancied to make a winning return to action. Khaleeji and Reginald Claude have ability but lack the scope of the others.
