      Verdict

      URSA MINOR makes his handicap debut on his return from a lengthy absence. A novice winner at Yarmouth last year, John Gosden’s Godolphin colt is a full brother to a winner over today’s longer trip and this isn’t a strong race. Athmad completed a double over a shorter distance here last month while Siavash also scored over a mile here on his debut for new connections having won over 1m4f when trained in Germany. Sha La La La Lee placed over track and trip earlier while Society Red drops back down in class but Al Mikdam, formerly with Godolphin, hasn’t raced since 2018.
