Verdict

TAWAAFOQ finished runner-up in a handicap the last time he raced over track and trip in June and gets a token vote at this lowly level. Some Nightmare has a shout on his third at Doncaster while Jaganory had been thereabouts over shorter trips before last week’s poor effort. Velvet Vista placed over 7f last time and Crimson Princess has bits of form while Champagne Bob has slipped down the weights and may do better in this grade.
