      Verdict

      International Name was no match for Emirates Skycargo when second here last month. But the latter's stablemate ARABIAN OASIS won a maiden at Wolverhampton on his reappearance and there should be plenty more to come from Charlie Appleby's charge. Water Thief is only 2lb higher than last year's win on the all-weather and has a recent run under his belt, unlike Shaakis, who ran well in a decent nursery at Doncaster in September. 6f winner Captain Revelation found only one too good on his return but it remains to be seen if he stays this far.
