    Verdict

    Fathsta had Celtic Sultan and Indian Art behind when winning a claimer at Epsom last month and can confirm running here with an apprentice claiming 7lb. But nothing went right for DUSTER in a decent handicap at Goodwood last time and his victory at Folkestone in June is just about the best piece of form on offer - he makes most appeal in this. Kingswinford is capable on his day but it's hard to predict when that will be while Fishforcompliments and Bawaardi have both been placed in similar company of late.
