      Verdict

      None of these have raced on the Fibresand before but EXPENSIVE DIRHAM was beaten only a neck over today’s trip at Pontefract on her handicap debut. Mark Johnston’s filly may well prove good enough in this. Kuwait Shield won over 7f at Catterick on his handicap bow and is preferred to Hooroo, despite a 5lb rise, while Alibaba just missed out in maiden company at Beverley and looks best of those handicapping for the first time.
