      Verdict

      Mighty Gurkha ended a long losing run when winning on Turf for the first time in 16 attempts, bolting up at Leicester, but has been raised 8lb and Taylor Fisher is unable to claim his 5lb allowance today. Airshow escaped a penalty for winning at Goodwood but disappointed at Chepstow last time so a chance is taken that CATWALK MODEL improves again having won a maiden at Yarmouth last month with plenty left in the tank. Rainbow Mirage won off a higher mark here last summer and is preferred to Sharp Power.
