      Verdict

      Pactolus may struggle in a competitive handicap against younger rivals and El Ghazwani is returning from a break. HARROVIAN may well return to his best in first-time blinkers so is just preferred to improving Newmarket winner Cardano, who has been raised a further 3lb. The Corporal is 2-2 here but looked to be in the handicapper’s grip at Sandown last time.
