      Verdict

      Harris Tweed was second in this race in 2012 but has rather lost the plot this year. Mike De Kock had a winner on this card last season and Flying The Flag found 1m1f too short at York last time but this looks too tough for Magic Hurricane while Nabucco dropped away tamely at Doncaster last time and has something to find with Red Galileo on that run. Ed Dunlop's colt was fifth in the Epsom Derby but has proved hard to place since while Ayrad has had his limitations exposed lately. WINDSHEAR was only beaten a neck by Snow Sky in the Gordon Stakes at Goodwood in July and ran right up to that form when fourth in the St Leger earlier this month. Richard Hannon's charge deserves a change of luck and has his sights lowered here.
