      Verdict

      MARZOCCO (NAP) started 50/1 for last month's St Leger but ran a big race for fifth behind Kingston Hill. A similar effort should see John Gosden's charge come out best in this lesser company. Big Orange won a Listed race at Chester last time but is penalised 3lb for his trouble while Odeon has yet to match his fourth to The Grey Gatsby in the Dante at York back in May. The remainder are all decent handicappers stepping up in class with the progressive Mizzou making most appeal of them after landing a hat-trick with a recent success at Haydock.
