      Verdict

      A tricky contest with Falak and Hawkerland expected to improve now handicapping for the first time having yet to threaten in maiden races. The latter makes most appeal of that pair over today’s distance but both St Andrews and Rob's Legacy have tough tasks racing from out of the weights. BOSTONIAN spent over two years off the track and has had just the eight starts despite his age. Not beaten far when fifth over 1m4f in a handicap at Goodwood recently, Shaun Lycett’s charge may well be good enough in this.
