      Verdict

      Commanche steps up in trip after landing a recent double over 6f but won his maiden over today's distance and should be thereabouts. Paphos went close over 1m2f here recently but looks high enough in the weights now and Spitfire's latest win on the Fibresand at Southwell was his first on the all-weather in 13 attempts. Yankee Storm will have come on for last month's outing here but the vote goes to MUHANDIS, who went close again last time having won over C&D on his penultimate start.
