      Verdict

      RASHAAN had just the one start on the Flat last year but has developed into a decent hurdler subsequently, winning a Grade 3 event. Colin Kidd’s charge is rated much higher over timber than Dalmatia and Fu's Island and may well run up to a higher mark than 72 now back on the level, which he’ll need to do to beat Taqaseem. The latter returns to maiden company after a modest effort in a handicap at Roscommon but is still preferred to Lostforwords and Talsara.
