        Verdict

        AUGUST finished runner-up in a handicap on his debut for Mick Appleby and first start since June. He returns to novice company with leading claims and gets the vote. Both Yasmina and Very Classy finished closer last time without looking like winning but Wath Court has gone backwards since a debut second at Beverley and a hood is applied. Bystander failed to beat a rival when starting odds-on for his debut and has been gelded and switched yards subsequently.
