      Verdict

      Desert Haze is upped in class off a 6lb higher mark as she bids for a hat-trick but Singyoursong won in this grade at Yarmouth last month despite looking less than straighforward. Aghaany makes her handicap debut after landing a maiden at Newbury while Hala Madrid was hampered at Brighton attempting to follow up an earlier win at Kempton and Persun went close off today’s mark at Pontefract last month. MARGARET’S MISSION has also been bang there at the finish on her last couple of outings at Ayr. But she drops down in class today and Jim Goldie’s mare is taken to get her head back in front with Joe Doyle’s allowance also in her favour.
