      Verdict

      GAME STARTER split a couple of decent handicappers, now rated 92 and 93 respectively, on his debut at Redcar last year and made a winning reappearance here in June, beating a horse rated 88. A mark of 90 looks fair on his first run in a handicap and he has more scope than any of these. Brorocco was back on song reverting to his best trip at Yarmouth and is a previous course and distance winner. He might be a couple of pounds too high but should give a good account. Grapevine is due a change of luck and shouldn’t be written off just yet while Visitant hasn’t done much wrong this year. Dr Julius No was staying on over a mile here last time and should also get involved if lasting home.
