      Verdict

      Torcello will love the ground but hasn’t impressed since sixth in the Chester Cup in May. All going comes alike to DARK JEDI and his best form comes on galloping tracks like this. Just a pound higher than when successful at Ayr earlier in the campaign, Tim Easterby’s charge could offer some value against the three-year-old Almuhit, who tries a new trip, and the equally-unexposed Yarmouth runner-up Traila.
