      Verdict

      Mustadun won a 7f novices' race at Newcastle and wasn't disgraced when attempting to concede Shanghai Grace 7lb over that trip here a month ago. Balladeer showed the benefit of a nice introduction at Newmarket to land a 7f race here but didn't run as well over this trip on a return visit in October. I'M AVAILABLE has made good progress and never really looked like being caught when making all at Kempton. There should be plenty more to come and she can see off Maqaadeer, though the latter produced a much-improved effort when tackling this trip for the first time at Lingfield. Southwell winner Whenapoet wasn't beaten far in a nursery here in October but Bubbelah has disappointed when well supported in his two recent runs.
