        Verdict

        Ajdaad won a similar race over track and trip last time with today's rival Empress Leizu well behind and should be thereabouts again, but a chance is taken on ALHABAN returning to form. His poor strike rate doesn't boost confidence but today's drop in class makes life much easier and Ron Harris's charge gets in here on favourable terms. Saharia also has claims at the weights, though he has a bit to prove over the trip having gone close over 7f here last month, but it's hard to make a case for any of the remainder.
