      Verdict

      Not the most reliable bunch with the likes of June's C&D winner Campanology running a shocker last time and Al Wajba well beaten at this track in between a couple of good runs. Swing Alone finished closer here last month albeit in soft ground with Otto The Great behind while Thirsk runner-up Sardanapalus is upped in class. MISSISSIPPI gets first-time headgear after his latest four-length defeat in much better company over track and trip and Brian Meehan's charge gets the tentative vote to find a bit more improvement and land this.
