        Verdict

        PLANETEX has made giant strides over the last couple of months and won over this trip in June. Despite a penalty, John Quinn's charge is fancied to complete his hat-trick before being tried in better company. Blue Shoes is often placed but has managed just one win in 19 starts while Bartley also has a modest strike rate and is probably still a couple of pounds too high in the weights. The likes of Celestial Dawn, Lord Franklin and Script need to improve again if they are to land this.
