      Verdict

      Ragheed gets the confident vote here with Hartshead and Blue Spinnaker rating the main dangers. The selection won with plenty in hand last time out when beating Cactus Rose and although having a penalty for that win he looks progressive and he is taken to defy the handicaper under similar conditions here. Hartshead rates the main danger on his best form but he ran no sort of race last time out so he can not be put forward with any confidence although this faster ground may help. Blue Spinnaker has dropped to a handy mark but his best form is over a longer trip on softer ground and he is taken on with this in mind. Top Jaro won a claimer in good style last time out but this looks much tougher and for the winner we return to Ragheed who is hard to oppose.
