        Verdict

        Looks The Business is generally in decent form and will be popular here but we're going to take a chance on She's So Pretty. Gary Moore has a great record here and this Grand Lodge filly remains a maiden after 14 starts, so she should represent a bit of value against the likely favourite. This trip should suit and this is only her second start for this trainer, who may have found some improvement at home and the application of first-time blinkers mean we will take the plunge. Looks The Business is 1lb higher than when winning a poor Lingfield handicap in June. Trip and ground suit, but he only wins one in ten starts and so he looks worth taking on, having never backed-up before. Dusk responded well to blinkers last time and is relatively lightly raced, so if they have the same effect here then John Dunlop's gelding is not beyond further improvement. Cordage was a 10f winner at Bath last time and has won over further, though not quite this far just yet. A 4lb rise will make this tougher but conditions suit and he is taken to go well. Warwick winner Moonshine Creek looks best of the rest but She's So Pretty is the tentative suggestion here.
