        Verdict

        Jabarout made a winning start in handicaps over 7f at Wolverhampton and is 5lb higher today. Squire has been threatening a return to winning ways and drops further down the weights while Touch The Clouds won here at the start of the year but hasn’t raced since April. Rivas Rob Roy scored over a shorter at Brighton in May and is back on the same mark but VIGEE LE BRUN won over today’s distance at Ripon more recently and David O’Meara’s charge may prove good enough again dropping down a grade.
