        Verdict

        This is the most competitive race on the card but Art History has to go on the short-list as he's only 2lb higher than when winning at Newmarket in the spring and has been highly tried lately. Saint Helena has already enjoyed a profitable season and handles the Polytrack, while Haylaman did well to win at Newmarket in July but is unproven over this longer trip. Direct Answer seeks to build on his maiden win at Folkestone but the one to beat maybe SPENSLEY. James Fanshawe's five-year-old rattled up a hat-trick here in the autumn and is back on the Polytrack for the first time since. His close-up second at Leicester recently suggests he's about to hit the winning trail again.
