    Verdict

    Scotswell will have to make this a proper test if he's to make the most of his stamina but he hasn't raced since winning over 2m6f here at the start of June. Star In Flight has an even longer absence to overcome while No Planning finished tailed off in his comeback run at Market Rasen and may need more time. ROYAL BONSAI races over hurdles for the first time since the Cheltenham Festival but ran a cracker on the Flat at Musselburgh earlier this month and can make a successful return. Cadore won at Perth earlier this month but earlier finished behind Cool Baranca at that track and Porgy has yet to prove he really enjoys hurdling.
