      Verdict

      Ryan Moore has some cracking rides tonight and though SAHARA DESERT ran moderately when making his handicap debut on his reappearance at Nottingham the faster ground and application of a hood can see him back on track. Pastoral Witness very nearly won here on her final start last season and will have needed her comeback run on Polytrack but Hoon looks to have plenty of weight for what he's achieved. Relation Alexander looks best on Polytrack as does Black Vale, who has only run twice on Turf in 20 starts.
