      Verdict

      None of these can be completely ruled out with DESERT WIND only getting the speculative vote given his winning form over today’s distance. Beautiful Memory has also won over 1m2f on the all-weather but ran poorly at Newmarket last time while Ode To Autumn found one too good over a mile here when attempting to land a hat-trick. Zaaki scored at Thirsk on his reappearance and makes his handicap debut along with Best Blue and Macaque while Poet's Prince went close off today‘s mark at Redcar but is another upped in distance.
