      Verdict

      Rated 88, FULL INTENTION is usually in the mix but has failed to land the odds the last twice now. However, he steps up to 6f for the first time today and the extra distance can see him off the mark. Saint Equiano improved when stepped up to 7f here in a first-time hood. But the headgear has been left off today while Midaawi has been placed in both starts to date but on faster ground. Vivardia and Things Happen have some catching up to do while the 170,000gns purchase Golconda King is preferred to Enlighten Me of the newcomers.
