      Verdict

      Arizona John is a decent handicapper on his day but returns after a long break as does Knightly Escapade, who has changed stables. All The Winds had over 2l to spare over Illustrious Forest here last week and should confirm the form while Blazing Desert enters the fray in cracking form though he would be suited by a slightly longer trip. SUFFICE was having just his fourth start when easily landing a maiden over course and distance and though falling when sent over timber at Huntingdon he was going easily at the time and can revert to the Flat with another success.
