      Verdict

      Custom Cut won a Group 2 here in 2015 but that was his last victory and he was around six lengths behind COUGAR MOUNTAIN (NAP) in the Group 2 Joel Stakes at Newmarket. The winner hasn't really built on that form though he's been competing at a very high level abroad and will relish this drop in class. He was beaten just over a length by Tribal Beat in a Group 3 here in August but was conceding Jim Bolger's charge 7lb and should have his measure this time. Raymonda has only had three runs, scoring at Fairyhouse in June before a poor run in a Group 3 back there a month later, and she has it all to do on the form book.
