        Verdict

        Fashaak won a claimer over a longer trip at Wolverhampton last time and Christopher Wood was placed over 1m2f at Chepstow. Billy Roberts found one too good in a lower grade contest at Ripon while Beverley Bullet won over 7f at Carlisle and is 3lb higher today. But ETISALAT endured a difficult passage when disappointing at Chelmsford in July and he gets a speculative vote to prove he’s better than that stepping up a furlong with with Ryan Moore doing the steering.
