      Verdict

      Richard Fahey looks to have a nice sprinting prospect in ALJADY, who has won twice at Redcar, making all on his reappearance last month. He's tackling older horses for the first time but looks capable of going through the ranks and can remain unbeaten. Muscika is a real fast-ground specialist as he showed at Ayr then just failing to catch Barrington at Nottingham where he didn't get the run of the race. He's a big threat and holds Red Pike on that latter run while Pipers Note, who is on a long losing run, has slipped to a winnable mark as a consequence. The Armed Man is up 5lb for winning here last month but hasn't proved himself at this higher level. Wentworth Falls is on the same mark as when just beaten over the course and distance on his reappearance in May so has to be considered.
