      Verdict

      This looks wide-open with David O’Meara complicating matters further by running three. Waarif won at Carlisle recently and is preferred to Sultan Baybars while Bravery has been gelded since last in action on November. Fashion Theory won a lower grade contest at Beverley last time but First Flight can figure at this level while Constantino and QASSEM can race off a much lower marks back on Turf. The latter is preferred despite returning from an absence as he was placed in a tougher handicap at York last season off a 9lb higher mark and gets a tentative vote.
