      Verdict

      Classic Pursuit had dropped to a fair mark when scoring at Haydock so a 6lb penalty shouldn't cause too many problems, though the weight concession to Orient Class may prove more difficult. Paul Midgley's charge has been running well at a similar level but his best recent form has been on ground with some give. You're Cool has won three times on the all-weather but never in a dozen starts on Turf so a chance is taken with ROYAL BAJAN, the winner of 17 races in his career and now back on his lowest mark for almost two years. Tavener's best recent run was over this trip and he hasn't done so well over an extra furlong in his last two starts.
