      Verdict

      Shabora won her maiden at Wolverhampton before finishing third on her handicap debut here when Mr Red Clubs was second. The latter had earlier beaten BIBA DIVA at Kempton, but Jeremy Noseda's filly was having her first run for three months when sent off favourite on that occasion and is expected to make amends over today's longer trip. Rythmic has disappointed since landing her maiden at Doncaster in August and Wolverhampton dual winner Come On Blue Chip makes more appeal despite returning from a lay-off. Moderator is one to note as he won his debut over 7f at Kempton in December and will relish every yard of today's extra distance.
