        Verdict

        Tajneed ran well in some tough handicaps last year and this is a big drop in class. He's easily the pick of the weights but his best form is over 6f and he was well beaten over further in four runs in France over the winter. We'll take him on with stablemate GEORGE BENJAMIN, who is a previous C&D winner and will be all the better for a recent outing at Doncaster. No Poppy and Ursula are other with claims at the weights but neither have seen action since last year and Shayla also runs for the first time since October.
