        Verdict

        A dual course and distance winner last year, DARK RED wasn’t beaten far when only fourth in this grade at Doncaster last time. It could be his turn again today with Ickymasho 5lb higher than her win over track and trip in June and finding one too good back here last time. Petite Jack was runner-up over today’s trip at Yarmouth before struggling over 1m4f at Ascot but Noble Gift can figure back on the all-weather and is preferred to Pactolus. Burcan hasn’t raced since the end of last year and Abdon has been nowhere near his best so far this season.
