        Verdict

        Mobsta made a winning reappearance at Doncaster when Maarek was third and Jack Dexter was 12th of the 13 runners. Magical Memory's third to Twilight Son in the Group 1 Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock in September is probably the best form on offer and he holds Mattmu on that run but he may need an outing to blow away the cobwebs. EASTERN IMPACT also finished behind Magical Memory at Haydock but it may be worth taking a chance that Richard Fahey's sprinter can turn around that form here as he has a cracking record on the Rowley Mile and has made a winning reappearance in two of the last three seasons. Baccarat is a former stablemate of the selection and won for Godolphin at Meydan in February but seems best in handicaps.
