    Verdict

    Winning hurdler Ardamir has gone close over 2m the last twice attempting to break his duck on the Flat. Cry Wolf is a similar type having yet to win anywhere in 21 starts but beaten less than a length at Wolverhampton recently. Navajo Star won over 1m6f at Wetherby in June but was well beaten off a higher mark last time and a chance is taken on PRECISION. The latter faded in the final furlong over the stiff 2m at Beverley last time but drops down a grade in first-time blinkers and won off today’s mark last year.
