Verdict

Muhadathat showed much more dash back in handicap company at Goodwood and almost pulled off a shock victory. She's only a pound higher here so has obvious claims but the extra furlong is a worry and she has to concede 6lb to FLYING PURSUIT, who hasn't done much wrong since winning at Ripon in June. He's a real 6f specialist and will have the stands' rail to keep him straight. Saryshagann is an interesting runner given he started favourte for a Group 3 and a Listed race in France back in the spring. He's had a break but that isn't normally a problem for one from his yard. Papa Luigi has gone off the boil and is held by the selection on the form book while Soapy Aitken has a bit to prove now.
