      Verdict

      Wor Lass was well ahead of Megara when winning here in August and went in again at Musselburgh earlier this month. But she’s 9lb higher now and the latter can finish a lot closer on only his second start of the year. Lexi's Boy has failed to figure off higher marks since winning on soft ground at Haydock in July but the veteran Itlaaq didn’t get the best of runs at Ripon last time and is having only his second start on the all-weather. MISTER BOB landed a double over 2m at Kempton earlier and this looks easier than his latest task at the same track - James Bethell’s charge may come good again.
