      Verdict

      A couple of these bid for hat-tricks though Dawaaleeb is upped in class on the back of a double at Newcastle. But AYR HARBOUR won a higher grade contest over course and distance last time and should go very close again raised only 2lb. Markazi was beaten only a head at Lingfield last week but is another facing a tougher task today while Assimilation was beaten less than a length in a tight finish at Wolverhampton and makes more appeal than Firmament.
