      Verdict

      CITRON MAJOR has had a fine season and has taken a step up to 7f in his stride. He beat Starboy, Maksab and Highlight Reel over course and distance three weeks ago and is fancied to confirm that form, despite another 4lb rise. Bullingdon disappointed at Windsor earlier this month but has strong claims on previous efforts this season but Late Change takes a big step up in grade and the weights in search of a hat-trick. Rum Runner has gone off the boil since winning at Sandown in June but has slipped down the weights as a result.
