      Verdict

      Arabian Star bounced back from a couple of below-par efforts to score at Yarmouth in June and could play a part if at the top of his game. Audacious should be suited by the drop back to this trip after failing to get home over 1m4f at Ascot last time but there may well be more to come from CRY FURY. Roger Charlton's colt hasn't been seen since finishing fifth to Brown Panther over 1m4f at Haydock in May but that race has produced a number of subsequent winners and the Beat Hollow colt is open to plenty of further improvement after only three runs - he gets the nod. Absinthe is 4lb higher than when second at Sandown last month but appears in better form than either Sweet Child O'Mine or Changing The Guard and looks the pick of the older horses.
