      Verdict

      Lethal Lunch hasn’t raced since finishing a close-up fourth here in March while Quick Breath has looked high enough in the weights since scoring over track and trip in June. Chica De La Noche won at Epsom last time but is upped in class for this while Tadleel has been off the track for over a year and was gelded in the interim. DIOCLES OF ROME has been competing in better company than this since winning at Doncaster back in May. A course and distance winner, the return to this lower grade could see Ralph Beckett’s charge go close and he gets the vote.
