        In depth

        Verdict

        Al Zaraqaan scored over 1m2f at Doncaster back in June but is penalised on his reappearance. He can figure in a weak race but is conceding plenty of weight to MY GIRL MAGGIE. The latter was placed again when runner-up over 1m4f at Haydock last time but separated a couple of subsequent winners on that occasion and can get off the mark in this. The Godolphin newcomer Shining Example, a half-brother to three winners, may also get involved given the remainder have all been well beaten so far.
