Verdict

The in-form Livvys Dream has her ground again but she finished last when tried over this trip for the only time in August. CANBERRA CLIFFS is back on the mark off which he was successful under Jason Watson at Goodwood in May and his proven stamina may be an asset on the ground. He gets the nod over lightly-raced Polytrack winner Kasbaan and Grand Inquisitor, in need of the run at York last month when behind Enigmatic. Petite Jack may be warming up for another all-weather campaign while Dragons Voice is best over a mile and failed to cope with another 3lb rise last time at Windsor.
