        Verdict

        PACOLITA won over 7f here in July and has only found one too good in both subsequent starts. There is a slight doubt about her staying this far on breeding but she's the one to beat if lasting home. Revision has won twice over 1m2f at Leicester but was due to run last night at Kempton. Strait Of Magellan has been racing over further since winning at Bath in June but Born To Be Bad and Bright Flash both have decent claims. The maiden Azzir looks best of the rest as Making Shapes appears to have two ways of running.
