        Verdict

        TAFSIR has won over 1m6f and looks worth a try over this longer trip. She went close at Ayr recently and makes more appeal than stablemate Aighear. Sophar Sogood scored over 2m at Kempton before well beaten over track and trip while Dragonball Prince has a shout back on the all-weather still looking for a first win.
