      Verdict

      Ghaith made a winning debut for a new yard when scoring easily over track and trip but the handicapper has taken no chances and raised him 11lb. FASTAR is preferred as the Irish gelding has gone up only 3lb for last month’s successful raid over course and distance and Gerard O’Leary’s charge looks sure to be bang there at the finish once again. That Is The Spirit faced a tough task at Doncaster when last in action and can do better at this lower level while Mickey drops back down to his winning trip and is preferred to Luis Vaz De Torres.
