    Verdict

    Rated 89, Volatile is penalised for a maiden success back in 2016 and looks to have a tough task giving so much weight to REIFFA. The latter made a winning start at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day and the Haggas filly is taken to confirm superiority with Cloud Eight despite the worse terms. The latter should be in the mix once again while Global Pass has the beating of Darkest Light on earlier running. Elite Shadow fared better on his earlier debut at Yarmouth than he did at Windsor last time.
