        Verdict

        Several arrive on the back of course wins including Xtara, who just held on over 7f last time and will be suited by this shorter trip. But QUEEN OF KALAHARI (NAP) beat Crosse Fire at the same fixture with Scale Force well behind has now won on her last five visits to this venue. Les Eyre’s mare looks worth sticking with given Puchita’s more recent victory over track and trip came in a lower grade. Global Hope beat Gold Brocade when successful at Yarmouth and has gone close on this surface in the past.
