    Verdict

    Zebrano scored so easily over the C&D in November that the handicapper hit him with a 9lb rise. He didn't get the run of the race at Lingfield subsequently but has a tough task this time. Dubai Miracle finished runner-up in a Salisbury Listed race after a Polytrack victory at Lingfield in 2009 but hasn't gone on from there and is still high enough in the weights. Global Village has a tremendous record over 7f here but has suffered in the weights as a consequence and his two latest efforts have been poor. Tuxedo has won four races over 7f here but has yet to prove he stays a mile so it's QALAHARI that gets the nod. Mick Quinlan's mare was having only her third all-weather start when running better than her finishing position suggests at Lingfield last time and looks on a fair mark nowadays.
