      Verdict

      BANCNUANAHEIREANN went close in this grade at Newmarket and ran well in the Listed Churchill Stakes at Lingfield behind higher rated horses last time. He's preferred to Starwatch, well beaten since rattling-up a hat-trick on the Turf earlier this year, while the same comment applies to Top Diktat, who recorded a four-timer at the start of the season. Anglophile failed to cope with a 10lb rise at Windsor for winning at Leicester earlier and Kings Bayonet and Stand To Reason arrive out of sorts.
