    Verdict

    YASIR has had a couple of outings over longer trips since scoring over course and distance last month and Conor Dore's charge can come good again back over 1m4f. A winner at Kempton off a 10lb lower mark Atalanta Bay tries her luck on the Fibresand along with Afro, who won her maiden in soft ground at Lingfield last May. Alborz will need a big improvement on his previous attempts at this venue, but Painted Tail may do better than his earlier visit racing over a longer trip this time around.
