      Verdict

      HASSAAD landed the odds with a facile wide-margin success at Brighton on her first start for Archie Watson. This will be tougher but she should still have the measure of these with further progress on the cards. Rated 73, the more exposed Desert Land looks the main danger fitted with headgear today and weighted to beat Yarmouth runner-up Spirited Guest. The remainder have shown little so far though Miss Gradenko makes a belated seasonal debut and may well have improved since last year.
