Verdict
TAWAKKOL looks worth another chance having been headed close home at Beverley last time. The winner has since gone in again and the re-opposing Rioca finished runner-up here on her latest start. That looks strong enough form to come out best in this. Lagenda has more to find to get involved while newcomers to note include Mustatrif and Moi Aussie but Teba Mateba is a half-brother to prolific winner Greyfriarschorista among others and David O'Meara's colt makes more appeal.
