Verdict
BACCARAT is hard to oppose. He's well clear of these on official figures and should have a straightforward task with a repeat of his win Ascot in June. Krypton Factor is next best at the weights but ran way below par behind Royal Rock at Yarmouth during the week. Hopes N Dreams won last year's renewal but faced much easier opposition on that occasion and Another Wise Kid has the stronger form. Bix has no chance but will pick up prize money for fifth.
