        Verdict

        Good Time Ahead followed a course and distance success with a victory over 1m6f here but carries a penalty. Restive attempts a hat-trick of course and distance wins on the back of another convincing display but is upped a further 6lb while Moabit makes his all-weather debut having won twice over 1m6f in soft ground at Salisbury this year. Snowy Winter landed a double at Kempton earlier but a chance is taken on the unexposed SPINNING MELODY (NAP). The maiden winner went close at Wolverhampton on her handicap debut and Simon Crisford’s in-form yard boasts an outstanding strike rate on the Fibresand.
