        Verdict

        Course regular With Approval is usually thereabouts without winning and Bawaader has placed over a mile here the last twice. Moretti ended last year with a double over today’s trip at Yarmouth and is 4lb higher on her first start since August but the less exposed I’LL BE BRIEF gets the vote. The latter drops down a grade after finishing fourth at Kempton on only her second outing in a handicap and should be in the mix at the finish if settling better. Deputy Star is another with plenty of scope now handicapping and attempting 7f for the first time.
