      Verdict

      Zakatal failed to figure upped in class at Newcastle last time but won in this grade at the same track before that. Masterson notched-up a hat-trick on the all-weather before struggling at Nottingham while Lady Makfi won four times last year including on this card but has looked in the handicapper's grip since her latest win in August. Little Stampy journeys across from Ireland but has no easy task so a speculative vote goes to GABRIAL’S STAR, who can bounce back off his current mark with a recent pipe-opener under his belt.
