      Verdict

      Andrew Balding won this with subsequent Doncaster Cup winner Spanish Mission last year but Morando arrives out of form. Deja is another struggling to find his best and the three-year-old DANCING KING (NAP) can take advantage. Mark Johnston’s charge has faced a couple of tough tasks since scoring over today’s trip at Doncaster in June and looks to have every chance on these terms. Inchicore, Uber Cool and last month’s Haydock winner Noonday Gun have plenty to find at the weights as does Yesyes though the St Leger entry has the most scope as she steps up in distance.
