This looks the less competitive division and QAARAAT can repeat last year’s success. He’s 4lb lower this time and finished a close-up third over track and trip on his latest start. The Tron has been thereabouts over longer distances while Lancashire Life won over 6f at Newcastle last month and Bare Grils scored over the same trip here in September. Shesadabber is back on a winning mark looking for her first win on the all-weather while First Verse has yet to win anywhere.
