      Verdict

      Allowances have reduced NELLIE LEYLAX’s 6lb penalty and Tom Dascombe’s charge can go in again. He produced a late flourish to win on the soft ground over the stiff 5f at Beverley so this extra distance should be well within his compass. Muqtahem placed at Hamilton on his debut and also steps up in trip but Art Historian never figured at Newmarket last week. Expert Choice may prove best of the newcomers.
