      Verdict

      General Brook has been placed in both starts since landing a double earlier this year though failed to threaten on either occasion. Delirium won over 1m2f here in May but has a bit to prove judged on an earlier attempt over today’s distance and the same goes for Zoffany Bay, who finished behind SHARP REPLY at Newbury recently. The latter attempts this longer trip for the first time and may prove good enough dropping down in class. Grams And Ounces won over course and distance at this time last year though it was soft ground on that occasion.
