      Verdict

      Sir Lucan has a rating of 104 which may appear high after a poor reappearance in the Sandown Classic Trial. Seamie Heffernan presumably had the pick of the Ballydoyle pair and has opted for WORDSWORTH, whom he rode when runner-up to stable companion High Definition at the Curragh in August, though Ryan Moore was on board when he beat a huge field back there last month. He's a 16/1 chance for Epsom which may contract after today's run. Party House has no fancy entries but she was impressive at Naas while Anner Castle was very green over 1m4f at Tipperary where he didn't get going until too late.
