Verdict

SCENIC was narrowly beaten back at this level at Salisbury having competed and placed in Listed company earlier in the year. Rated 95, she should have the measure of Ffos Las runner-up Syllabus. Camarrate won at Kempton last month and is penalised along with Juana Ines, who won in France in July and debuts for new connections. Through The Ages finished just ahead of Hampden Park before the latter placed on the all-weather but Kempton second Scylla may improve past that pair.
