      Verdict

      BIG ISSUE has an obvious chance of claiming a third win of the season although it may not pay to underestimate Tazahum who is open to any amount of improvement and it will be interesting to see what the market makes of the latter's chances. Big Issue hasn't finished out of the frame in five starts and looks to have the beating of Catalyze, Memen and Dubawi Gold although Michael Dods' runner could emerge as a threat if running to the level of form that he showed in the Woodcote in June. Derby entry Tazahum ran out a comfy winner of a Kempton maiden at the start of last month; the second has yet to reappear but few behind have done anything for the form which does raise questions although he was visually impressive.
