      Verdict

      Well beaten at Newmarket last time, TAROOQ is rated much higher on the all-weather and an apprentice's allowance further helps his cause. He may just edge this at the weights ahead of Personal Touch, a losing favourite in a claimer at Ripon behind Inxile, who runs earlier on the card. Pool House has disappointed since dropping down to this level while the likes of Gabrial's Wawa and Bush Beauty have plenty to find on these terms.
