      Verdict

      JUST HUBERT won the stayers race at the Shergar Cup meeting at Ascot last time. This is less competitive and he can defy a 3lb rise. Dance To Paris finally won a Flat race on Turf when scoring by a neck at York while Autumn War finished runner-up at Newmarket but never threatened the winner. The veteran Be My Sea is upped in class bidding for a hat-trick while both Single and Thai Terrier look high enough in the weights judged on recent efforts.
