Verdict

RABAAH is penalised having made a winning reappearance at Lingfield. But he beat a subsequent winner with the minimum of fuss on that occasion and is Jim Crowley’s only ride at the meeting. Saracen Head went close at Newcastle on his return to action and looks a threat on these terms while Hawajes represents last year’s winning yard. The latter is a half-brother to a couple of winners on the all-weather and is preferred of the newcomers.
