    Verdict

    BOURNE pops up when least expected and should be cherry-ripe now after a couple of runs this autumn. He's back over a more suitable trip today and, on a winning mark, should give a decent account here. Hada Men would certainly have claims on his best form. He may be a couple of pounds too high on his return and would probably prefer a bit further but can't be ruled out. Stopped Out ran well on the Flat last month and is preferred to Shotavodka and Azure Fly, who may have been collared by the handicapper, while Bob's World was well beaten on his reappearance and may need his sights lowering.
