      Verdict

      Ghalib badly misfired when bidding for a hat-trick here last time and Outback Ruler's attempt at a treble came unstuck over 7f at Newmarket. Postulant makes her handicap debut after scoring at Hamilton and will need to improve to figure while Chelmsford runner-up Mount Tahan attempts 6f for the first time. MYTHMAKER moves in the opposite direction after a poor run at 7f but was placed over 6f on the main track here back in May with Dragon King well beaten and gets the nod on that form ahead of Felix Leiter, who drops in class.
