        Verdict

        ZARI steps up in trip for her handicap debut having made all at Kempton when last seen at the track in October. She may well be good enough on her return. Only Joking had a tough race when all out to win over track and trip on her reappearance and the front-running Bank Of Gibraltar makes more appeal dropping back in distance. Maraakib has yet to hit form this year and Cosmic Ray recorded his only win so far in testing ground at Windsor last season.
