Verdict
UN BACIO ANCORA has been raised to 65 after a fine run behind the odds-on Yosemite Valley at the Curragh on Saturday, with the remainder well beaten, and that should be good enough for this. Emorcee has been narrowly beaten in a couple of handicaps this summer, form that would see him in contention. Lope De Rueda hasn't improved since a fair debut here while Californiagoldrush has been placed once in ten starts.
