      Verdict

      AZAM ran well again over 1m6f here last time having scored over course and distance before that. Mike Appleby’s charge looks to have an easier task in this and already has a verdict over Mambo Dancer. The latter has also won here and been placed off higher marks since while Chocolate Box is 7lb higher than his victory over 1m6f at the track back in September and returns from an absence. The remaining trio are hard to recommend on recent form with Sam Missile perhaps coming out best of them.
