        Verdict

        Those who witnessed SUYOOF's reappearance a fortnight ago won't want to miss him here. A winner on the track in 2017, he only had two runs last season and disappointed but came from out of the clouds to snatch fifth in the race won by Another Batt two weeks ago and with that under his belt will take some beating. Mike De Kock also runs Fire Away, who has been acquired from the USA where he was a regular winner and landed a Grade 3 at Pimlico in May. Key Victory, a Listed winner at Newmarket in May, dropped away quickly on his debut here a fortnight ago while Settle For Bay can go well despite never getting into contention in the same race, his first since winning the Royal Hunt Cup. Saeed Bin Suroor has three entries at the bottom of this handicap and the lightly-raced Desert Fire could have got in lightly after winning twice in the summer by a combined total of 18l.
