Verdict

THERTHAAR had looked much improved when making a winning return here last month and confirmed that impression when defying a penalty to score over track and trip last time. An apprentice’s allowance negates some of a 7lb rise and the hat-trick beckons. Ada Misobel scored on the Fibresand at Southwell last month and debuts on this surface along with Swansway, who drops in class in first-time headgear after a fifth at Newmarket. Better is expected from both Cape Crystal and Baz's Boy while Dream Trader and Alzebarh may finish closer now handicapping for the first time.
