      Verdict

      ARNOLD has the best piece of recent form having just missed out over track and trip last week. He’s taken to go one better racing off the same mark. Mukhadram Way goes handicapping for the first time on her reappearance having ran well here early in the year and Refuge is another handicap debutant to note. Pearl Of Qatar won over course and distance the last time she raced here and has shout off her current mark with Billy Garritty’s allowance helping her cause.
