        Verdict

        An open looking handicap that might just fall the way of VHUJON, who is on a consistent run of form. A victory off a low looking mark in July was followed with a bold bid over course and distance and after another solid effort looks to have every chance off the same mark. Stamford Blue only found the one too good last time, which was an improved effort so more might be forthcoming while The Tatling likes it here but might finally be approaching the end of his career. Kyllachy Storm ran with some credit at Goodwood in the week and slight improvement would get that one in the mix but Vhujon is consistent and looks booked to run his race again.
