        Verdict

        Turanga Leela debuts on the Fibresand having landed a double at Wolverhampton and can figure if handling the surface. Pull Harder Con also bids for a hat-trick having won over track and trip earlier but is upped in class while Ustath now looks high enough in the weights having landed a treble at the track last month. Excessable went close here last time but SAMOVAR was beaten only a neck by Slowmo, who has since won again, on his latest start and Scott Dixon’s charge is taken to confirm running with Scale Force and go one better.
