      Verdict

      Mutaraafeq steps up in trip having found only one too good at Epsom while Ghost Rider is another upped in distance. Zulu Girl has won three times over a mile on Turf this year and returns to the all-weather while Balgair and Badenscoth are both back on winning marks. PACTOLUS had been running well on Turf before struggling in better company at Lingfield. He’s won 12 times on the all-weather over the years and Stuart Williams’ veteran still looks capable of getting involved at this level.
