        Verdict

        ALRAJAA made a belated seasonal debut in August but has improved with every subsequent start and won easily over today’s trip at Chelmsford last time. He has a hike in the weights to contend with but there looks plenty more to come from John Gosden’s charge. Listen To The Wind is another progressive type though came up just short at Bath back in July while Kuwait Currency has won a couple of lower grade races over track and trip and finished in front of Rectory Road earlier in the month. Sir Busker got his head back in front here last month on his first start over a mile and Siglo Six may prove best of the remainder.
