        Verdict

        MOHAREB (NAP) showed improvement at Thirsk when last in action back in May and has been gelded and left Godolphin subsequently. Mick Appleby has reputation for improving new intakes and his charge is preferred to another making a comeback in The Met. The latter finished fourth at Redcar on his debut over a year ago while Capla Berry has the more recent form though still took a backward step when only fifth here last month. Gazton is the highest rated of those with a handicap mark but has failed to build on a debut second at Pontefract.
