      Verdict

      A winner over 1m2f last month, Matraash has not raced over this longer trip since 2013, though he won a seller here on that occasion. Teide Peak has also won a plating race over track and trip but was beaten four lengths back in a handicap last time. Rocky Rebel has been in winning form over hurdles but has not scored on the Flat since 2012 while Thane Of Cawdor has been well beaten since going close at Kempton in December. The lightly-raced SARPECH has shown little to date including in a couple of starts over 1m4f but he gets the speculative vote to come good making his handicap bow at this lowly level.
