        Verdict

        Rae Guest will have been delighted with Mirza's run at Ascot and the former Group 3 winner looks to have every chance reverting to handicap company here. Boom The Groom has won valuable handicaps at Goodwood and York this year and was out of his depth last time. But he's never won off a mark this high while Kasbah makes his debut for Robert Cowell and hasn't raced since June. Lightscameraction has been proving his versatility on Turf recently but Dougan is very much an all-weather specialist. HUMIDOR was behind Lightscameraction last month at Haydock and they meet on the same terms. But George Baker's charge missed the break that day and it would be no surprise if the placings were reversed here as he's back on a winning mark.
