    Verdict

    KHAJAALY scored for the first time on Fibresand last week with a bit in hand. He was adding to his current tally of five wins over track and trip so Mike Appleby's charge is fancied to land a hat-trick here despite a 6lb rise. Hierarch has gone close on a couple of occasions since scoring at Kempton in September and should give the selection most to think about given the poor recent effort of Kyllachy Star, who has struggled since winning at Lingfield at the start of the year.
