      Verdict

      HORTZADAR placed at Doncaster behind the progressive Haqeeqy last month. He looks to have returned to action in good order and should be capable of scoring off his current mark. Overwrite put a poor effort behind him when second on the all-weather last week but Oh This Is Us looks high enough in the weights at present. Rhythmic Intent drops down from 1m4f on his return while Makram is 9lb higher than when scoring at Ascot last summer and Dogged’s victory here came back in 2019. Maxi Boy was beaten less than a length at Lingfield on his handicap debut and only outing of last year and is worth a second glance.
