      Verdict

      Algheed was placed yet again on the Polytrack here last month when ahead of VERREAUX EAGLE. But the latter just missed out at Brighton subsequently and, having won off today’s mark in the past, Ed Dunlop’s charge gets the vote. Ex Gratia finished behind the above pair on her handicap bow while Ajrad disappointed back on Turf at Yarmouth so Marlay Park is preferred in this grade.
