      Verdict

      BLAZING HOT came up short once again back over 6f here. But Grant Tuer’s charge had landed a double over course and distance before that and gets another chance in a tight sprint. Gowanlad is another returning to the minimum having finished ahead of Tathmeen here and the latter has gone close subsequently. Alablaq has yet to race over today’s distance while James Watt hasn’t raced since October.
