      Verdict

      Reem Al Fallah represents a yard that does well with their raids on Scottish prize-money and is taken to have the sufficient stamina to resist the challenges of Dancing Granny and Keep Your Distance. The last named showed marked improvement here last time and looks capable of winning a race in the fullness of time. The step up to a mile should not be too much of a problem for this son of Distant Music and he is one to keep tabs on from here. Dancing Granny looked as if she hated the firm ground at York last time, so did very well to finish a close up second. The daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar does need to find further improvement and any rain would not go amiss where she is concerned. However, Reem Al Fallah has already created the impression this trip will be right up her street and, as she looks to be impervious to the ground Mick Channon's filly is given another chance to get off the mark.
