        Verdict

        FINAL beat the favourite Qaffaal easily enough to land a higher grade handicap at Lingfield last month. That’s the strongest form on offer and a repeat effort would make him hard to beat in this. Footlight has recorded both wins on the all-weather so far on the Fibresand at Southwell and Berrahri was successful on the frozen track at San Moritz last month. A winner in France, Ibazz has yet to figure for new connections but Ickymasho should appreciate the return to 1m2f and is also preferred to Craftsmanship.
