Verdict
Three of these scored over course and distance on their latest starts. Khabib got the better of Tathmeen though the latter has been beaten again subsequently while Gowanlad was successful last week and is penalised. BE PROUD also carries 5lb extra but won a higher grade sprint with plenty to spare to record his fifth victory at the track and Jim Goldie’s charge makes most appeal on that form. Patsy Fagan arrives in fine fettle though races over the minimum trip for only the second time.
