      Verdict

      Faraway looks up against it on today's terms but the remaining quartet all have claims. Tidy Affair had an off-day when well behind fifth-placed Gloriam at Newbury in August, but has bounced back since with a win at Epsom. He can reverse running with the latter, who won a lowly maiden at Wolverhampton last time, albeit by six lengths. Asatir's debut victory at Redcar in July has worked out well with plenty of winners coming out of the race, but he's been off the track since and preference goes to FROG HOLLOW. Ralph Beckett's charge bids for a hat-trick after getting up late in a couple of victories over 7f at Salisbury and he looks to be crying out for today's extra furlong.
