      Verdict

      This is a tight little handicap with five of the six entries having won their latest races. The one maiden in the line-up, Muqaatil, was well supported on his reappearance at Chelmsford a couple of weeks ago but was beaten comfortably and faces no easy task off top weight. Course and distance winner Hertford Dancer may prove best at this stage of John Gosden's pair while Enfolding was just touched off over slightly shorter here before landing a track and trip maiden. EARTHLY caught the eye on Turf in the autumn and had no problems landing the odds on his return to action at Lingfield last month and looks the type to go on to better things so gets the nod.
