      Verdict

      Monarch Maid had Haraz back in fourth when scoring over course and distance last month but has been beaten in a couple of subsequent starts. Fareeq has similar form having also won here earlier in the year while Napping returned a losing favourite at Southwell last week and was behind BILLYOAKES when the latter scored at Lingfield in December. Charlie Wallis’ charge was narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton recently and it could be his turn again today.
