      Verdict

      A handicap no easier for the lack of numbers and if Danat Al Atheer takes the previous race, it would be no surprise to see plenty of market confidence behind ENDORSING. Richard Hannon's colt was only a head behind when they met at Haydock in April though he'll need to reverse Doncaster form with Leitrim Pass in order to win this affair. Richard Fahey has two entries and Gabrial's Wawa appears to be the pick of the pair. A winner of two races on the Polytrack, he has been tried in two very hot handicaps at Chester on his last two starts and this looks a slightly easier assignment on paper. Broughton wasn't disgraced against a progressive rival on his handicap debut at Ripon and he may well be open to further improvement.
