    Verdict

    RASTABAN is likely to start a short-price having been headed at the post over 1m2f at Sandown last time by Aiken. Breeding suggests there should be better to come over today's longer trip and William Haggas' charge is the one to beat. Istishaara looks the one most likely to give him something to think about having finished fourth at Doncaster on her first attempt at the distance, but Hawdyerwheesht has plenty to prove over this trip and the disappointing Black Pond is still without a win.
