          Verdict

          Secret Applause won here as a two-year-old and has shown more than enough this season to suggest she can get involved in a race like this. Hazza The Jazza hinted at a revival at Ayr last time while Sky Crossing was placed in a better race here last time, though the drop back from to 7f is a worry. SECRET CITY beat Blue Sonic by just under three lengths at Ayr in July. The runner-up is 6lb better off here but that may not be enough to turn the tables and Robin Bastiman's eight-year-old is taken to pick up the winning thread again. Rocky's Pride may be the pick of the remainder.
