      Verdict

      GAZWAH is surely better than she showed when sent off favourite at Carlisle last month. Brian Hughes keeps the faith and she can make the most of the 12lb, less Max Kendrick’s claim, she receives from Lingfield winner Pop The Champagne, who couldn’t cope with her penalty at Newbury. The selection’s stablemate Roxanya may be improving with newcomer Memors worth a market check.
