      Verdict

      The unbeaten Real Gain made a winning reappearance over a longer trip at Chelmsford in July and makes his handicap debut. He races prominently as does Bajan Bandit, who won over 7f here before placing over track and trip behind the runner-up CATCH THE PADDY. The latter should have the race run to suit once again and can go one better on his second start after wind surgery. Tajawal and Florida are other likely improvers and are preferred to the more exposed Harlem Nights.
