      Verdict

      MOTAJAASID drops back to the minimum trip for the first time having placed over 6f at Windsor on his first start after wind surgery. Rated 74, he may prove good enough in a weak contest with Paco Escostar looking the main threat though the latter sports headgear today having failed to figure since placing at Catterick in July. Tamerlane will not need to improve much to get involved given the remainder have yet to show any worthwhile form.
