    Verdict

    Opportune can continue his good recent form here to outstay Sahnour, with It's Your Bid likely to prove troublesome. Opportune has been in splendid form, looking the part at Warwick last month, staying on well off a pound lower mark than when successful there in August. He likes to hear his hooves rattle and with conditions very much in his favour, there is no reason why he should not add to his tally with Mark Flynn taking seven pounds off his back again. Sahnour just got up to beat Academy at Redcar but has a bit more to do now, while It's Your Bid has been running well without winning of late but his latest third behind Yaheska would give him definite place claims. However, for the winner we return to Opportune.
