      Verdict

      None of these inspire confidence and Babytaggle was still beaten a distance when third over a longer trip here last month when ahead of TEMPLIER. But this shorter distance should suit the latter and he gets the vote to reverse running in this and go close. Sadma ran well over timber at Wincanton in February and is 6lb lower back over fences but Istimraar hasn’t won since 2014 though debuts for Dan Skelton and Dreyfus has his first start after a wind op having shown nothing over hurdles.
