      Verdict

      Newbury maiden winner FAKHAMA has been allocated a rating of 94 after running well in a Listed race at York last time and can defy a penalty back at this level. Glencalvie has plenty to find with the selection on these terms but Shining Jewel may prove a bigger threat dropping back down in trip having undergone a wind operation since last in action. Hard Act To Follow looks best of the rest.
