      Verdict

      This is likely to prove all too much for handicapper The Lock Master while Genzy returns from a lengthy absence. Mijhaar has been running well in decent company, only going down by a length-and-a-quarter to Prince Siegfried at York last time. But he's pretty much exposed as is Cracking Lass, who has been racing over further. Richard Fahey's mare did win on heavy ground over C&D two years ago but has given the impression she's not enjoying her racing at present. MODEL PUPIL beat the smart Shantaram in a maiden at Newmarket in the spring and was just touched off in the Chester Vase in May. That is the best form on offer in this and Charles Hills' three-year-old can make a successful return to action.
