      Verdict

      ASAASSI landed the odds at Salisbury on his return to action and first outing after wind surgery. Roger Varian’s yard has hit top form and improvement is expected now handicapping. Animato is more exposed having won at Redcar on his fifth start in a handicap though he had Highland Premiere back in fourth. Albegrey is upped in trip while Kalahari Prince and the returning Tudor make their handicap debuts.
