        Verdict

        Bahamian C was runner-up in an amateurs’ race last time, though was still well beaten, but Indian Chief won one of these events here back in July. Silver Alliance notched a double on fast going during the summer and Bollihope has recorded a more recent double on the all-weather at Newcastle. Favorite Girl has been getting closer of late but Andrew Balding and Hugo Hunt teamed up to win this in 2014 and the lightly-raced HAIRDRYER may prove good enough on only his second start since April.
