        Verdict

        It’s almost a year since Sadma was last seen in action, winning at Wincanton. Today Please started favourite in a higher grade last time at Wetherby but could only muster the one pace in finishing third. Cottesloe doesn’t look particularly well treated on his handicap debut while the three-year-old Jazzy already looks exposed. BILLY MY BOY won on fast ground at Wincanton in October and has conditions to suit again. He’s climbed the weights but ran well here last time so gets the nod.
