    Verdict

    Madame Rouge's surprise win over course and distance last month has been franked since and she shouldn't be underestimated. Fractal won easily enough on his Turf debut at Leicester and is open to further progress while Jupiter Storm wasn't suited by the drop back to 1m2f on fast ground last time, but has had a few months off since. NABATEAN ran well against better opposition at Ascot in July considering he was racing out of the handicap. There should be more to come from Andrew Balding's lightly-raced gelding and he gets the vote here.
