Verdict

Chinese Spirit beat Jorgie a neck over a longer trip here in soft going last time. Swinging Eddie has been thereabouts lately but remains without a win in 16 attempts while Khazaf is less exposed and finished closer at Ayr last time. Donnelly's Rainbow will appreciate the return to faster going having been narrowly beaten over 7f in July but LAGENDA won last year’s renewal as the first-leg of a course double and should make a bold bid once again back on a winning mark.
