      Verdict

      Heights Of Abraham faces a tough task under a big weight on ground upon which he's unproven. DHUSHAN (NAP) has more scope but only won a Haydock novice event ahead of this handicap debut so will need more, though William Haggas is a clever placer of his charges and the Sea The Stars colt could prove to be significantly ahead of his mark. The Johnston team field a trio of runners and all are respected with Annandale, at his best on this good ground, just preferred of the three ahead of Baileys Derbyday and Glen Again.
