In depth
Verdict
Several won their penultimate starts with Alseeyerthere scoring in a lower grade at Redcar and Al Baahy successful at Wetherby. Yaaser won at Musselburgh having been beaten by Archduke Ferdinand at the same track before that while Rocket Rod came out best over track and trip in June. But Ataser and VERONA STAR drop down a grade for this with preference for the latter who has the more scope fitted with cheekpieces for the first time.
