      Verdict

      Qaaraat steps back down in trip having won over 6f at Leicester recently but could still go well. Paco Escostar should be winning soon on last month’s second at Catterick while Sparkalex could also figure on her handicap debut having won a novices’ race at Lingfield last time. But RUMSHAK will take advantage of a slide down the weights before long and it could be today given Michael Dod’s charge drops into this grade for the first time with first-time blinkers applied to sharpen him up.
