Verdict

MUQARRED (NAP) made a winning start in handicaps when successful over 7f here last time. Further progress looks on the cards and he can confirm superiority over Cyril and go in again. Andretti is another handicap winner and bids for a hat-trick on his reappearance off a 5lb higher mark after winning on the all-weather in October. Goring, Third Time Lucky and the unexposed Pacify are all maiden winners with the latter preferred while Occult may be capable of better now handicapping for the first time.
