        Verdict

        HOLD TIGHT has already been gelded but is a half-brother to four winners including the smart Airwave, who won six times between 5f and a mile, and wouldn't need to be anything special to make a belated winning debut. Fellow newcomer Karmadal is by Shamardal out of French Listed winner and could be the danger as those with experience look a modest bunch with Merhoob proving best so far on Polytrack and Abertillery turning in a shocker last time at Newmarket.
