      Verdict

      Lexington Place is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and he's on a 2lb lower mark than when last successful in August. Jacob's Pillow has won seven times in all kinds of conditions but ran poorly over the track and trip last month. Jabbarockie has now won three times since August on vastly differing surfaces though is now on his highest ever mark but African Friend will have needed his reappearance in a better race at Doncaster. DAPPER MAN hails from Roger Fell's in-form yard and took advantage of the fast going to score nicely at Ripon so he can go in again from 5lb higher. Highly Focussed, twice a winner on Tapeta this year, couldn't catch Only Spoofing here a fortnight ago and is taking a step-up in class.
