      Verdict

      A winner over C&D last month, RHAL got mugged on the line when odds-on back at this track last week and is given a chance to make amends. He had Reachtothestars a couple of lengths behind and should confirm running with that rival, though Kassaab looks a real threat having gone close on a couple of occasions since winning at Kempton in February. Sound Amigo made a winning debut over C&D and is open to improvement on his handicap debut, but Piccoluck needs to improve on his return to action.
