      Verdict

      KHAJAALY arrives from the all-weather in the best form, though 17 starts on Turf without a win does nothing to boost confidence in his chances. But he still gets the vote in a poor handicap given he can race off a 15lb lower mark back on this surface. True Spirit raced five times without success on Turf last year before scoring at Wolverhampton but Amethyst Dawn continues to tumble down the weights as a consequence of her regressive form. Delightful Sleep has done all his winning on the Polytrack so far and Vale Of Clara's only win to date was back in 2012
