    Verdict

    Willie John wasn't beaten far in a Class 2 handicap over the track and trip on very fast ground then pulled too hard at the same level at Ascot. Dawaam's two victories have been on the all-weather and he had Silent Attack just behind when out of the money at Kempton a couple of weeks ago. Hortzader gained the fifth victory of his career at Ripon and is only 3lb higher though could find the ground a bit lively. PLANTADREAM had won a couple of minor Polytrack races before landing a Class 3 classified race at Ascot. He looks the type to improve again and can gain his fourth victory from just eight starts. Gin Palace won a handicap at this level at Newmarket in June and is only 3lb higher.
