Verdict

World Record won at Brighton two runs ago and is less exposed than most on the all-weather, though did win on Polytrack at Lingfield when trained by Richard Hannon. He has a chance in a modest handicap along with last month's Leicester fifth Strictly Art and Makhfar, who was the subject of a gamble when fourth over 7f here last month. HIDDEN GEM was second here twice in September and got no sort of run over course and distance last time behind Little Choosey. Dropped a pound since, Ed Walker's three-year-old can finally get her head in front today.
