      Verdict

      MOATAZ added to an earlier win at Lingfield when scoring here last week with Aiaam Al Wafa well beaten. There was plenty left in the tank and Mark Johnston's charge can defy a penalty stepping up in trip. Gabrial's Lexi improved for the greater test of stamina when beaten only a head over today's distance at Lingfield last time and should confirm running with Shivsingh, while Excellent News posted her best effort so far in a handicap when runner-up at the same track recently and looks best of the remainder.
