        Verdict

        Maiden winners Hereawi, Gunnery and Second Serve were all beaten on their handicap debuts though the last-named was less than a length behind Master Blueyes at York. Mark Johnston’s colt is weighted to reverse running and is also preferred to stablemate Four Mile Beach. But ENGAGE (NAP) makes most appeal in this as she is expected to improve for last month’s reappearance at Pontefract when second to subsequent Listed winner Maleficent Queen - Sir Michael Stoute’s filly gets the vote.
