        Verdict

        AHDAB returns to novice company having gone close in a handicap over track and trip. He should have the measure of both Panda Seven and Top Drop on these terms with Ryan Moore taking over the reins. The former showed little on his debut in this country but the latter was narrowly beaten when last seen over today’s distance and looks a threat. Lammas showed promise over 7f at Kempton on his debut and is preferred to Eltham Palace while Tackleslikeaferret has only raced at Southwell so far.
