Verdict

Chester winner Ibsaar should appreciate today's extra furlong and the betting will give a good indication of what's expected from him on his reappearance, while Doncaster maiden winner Miss Boops also returns from a lay-off after finishing last in a Listed event at Sandown in July. Spartic doesn't look good enough, while School For Scandal has proved vulnerable to a more progressive type in the past and SHE AIN'T A SAINT fits that description. Jane Chapple-Hyams' filly improved on her debut effort at Newmarket to beat subsequent winner Albaraka at Kempton in January and can go on to better things here.
