        Verdict

        Having run in some tough handicaps this summer, BOPEDRO has his sights lowered and has also been dropped a couple of pounds. If he gets the run of the race, David O’Meara’s seven-year-old could finally gain some reward for his exertions. Bear Force One is seeking a third win in only five outings this year but Intellogent seems to have lost a bit of enthusiasm lately. Repertoire and Lose Your Wad both have the form to figure, however, and Finn's Charm is starting to look well treated while Sudden Ambush has won two of his last three and warrants a try at this higher level.
