        Verdict

        Spectroscope beat the useful Bal de Nuit on his debut and was fourth in a decent novice event here 20 days ago. He's a c/d winner. Kadara won well over c/d on her debut but disappointed at Cheltenham last time. Alrafid won a Ripon maiden over a mile on good to firm last April. Classic Example has been placed in middle distance maidens. Desert City's dam won over hurdles. He should be capable of improving on his Doncaster debut run in time. Martin Pipe's August Lingfield AW winner, Fortune Island, is bound to attract support. Montoya has a bit to find with Spectroscope on their Kempton runs. Penny Pictures (Pipe's other runner) won over 12f for James Given at Ripon in June and jockey bookings should be noted. Royal Hector would need to improve on his fifth to Saintsaire at Newbury, a similar comment applying to the level of form Navale has shown. Back at a track he likes, Spectroscope gets the vote.
