      Verdict

      Formerly with Godolphin, TAMLEEK missed the whole of last year and has failed to threaten in a couple of outings for David O’Meara so far this year. But he has strong claims in this if running anywhere near an official mark of 90 and gets another chance with Danny Tudhope preferring him to stablemate Stonific. Battle Of Marathon looks next best at the weights though would prefer a faster surface but it was soft ground when First Flight won a claimer at Catterick back in August. Employer is usually thereabouts but has only won a novice race in 21 outings.
