    Verdict

    The much travelled Air Pilot is a soft-ground specialist and the more rain the better as his two Group victories on heavy going in France showed last year. SETTING SAIL (NAP) won a course and distance maiden two years ago but hasn't had much racing subsequently. He'd been in cracking form in handicaps before an easy victory in a three-runner race at Epsom and can go in again. The lightly-raced Qarasu won a soft-ground handicap at Newbury though couldn't cope with a 9lb rise at Haydock but Illumined had no problems making all on the latter track and is improving fast enough to get into the frame. Elwazir ran better than expected at Doncaster a couple of weeks ago, his first start since May.
