Verdict

Rahyah showed some potential for William Haggas, including on Polytrack, and gained her first victory for new connections on soft ground at Ayr. That was over 1m2f and this will be her first start over tonight's trip but she's in good form and probably still well treated so should go well. ABRAHAM was disqualified after finishing first past over 1m6f at Killarney in May but has continued to perform with credit over this sort of trip and has a good opportunity to gain compensation. Down Royal winner Admodum has shown some promise in a light campaign and has to be respected on his debut on the surface but Elusive In Paris has never won beyond 1m2f. War Room is consistent but rarely runs beyond a mile these days so, even if getting a run from his reserve spot, he has plenty to do.
