    Verdict

    ARAIFJAN ended a frustrating run of placed efforts when scoring over track and trip and beating Heer We Go Again, Poyle Vinnie and Steelriver in the process. He looks worth sticking having earlier finished in front of A Sure Welcome when third here. Lezardrieux has been thereabouts since winning over course and distance in October and finished in front of Centurion Song when beaten only a neck in a lower grade sprint here last time.
