Verdict

This is tougher than the race Kaser won at Wolverhampton recently and Scofflaw has looked high enough in the weights since completing a hat-trick with last month’s win over track and trip. Indomeneo is not badly treated on his earlier success at Haydock while Medalla De Oro also scored over course and distance in July with Bit Of A Quirke and GARDEN OASIS behind. But the latter has slipped 6lb down the weights subsequently and after placing on his last couple of outings, Tim Easterby’s charge is taken to reverse running and come out best.
