      Verdict

      Super Julius and Global Academy are best watched at present but there's little to choose between the remainder, all of whom arrive in good form on the back of wins. ARZAAK has taken time to recover the winning thread but showed a good attitude to outbattle the useful Jack The Truth and his 3lb rise from the handicapper is offset by the booking of the talented Lewis Edmunds. He may just have a touch too much class for Jack Taylor and Tawaafoq. The latter could well emerge as the main threat as he still looks on a very workable mark for Mick Quinn and has been in his best form for some time over his last three outings. Jack Taylor inched home here last time but is still quite hard to assess and his performance here will provide a better guide to his level of ability.
