      Verdict

      Madam Lilibet is a regular in the staying races here but is struggling at present and was well behind runner-up Riptide over 2m2f at the track in June. But the latter, another course specialist, was still beaten six lengths so ROCKTHERUNWAY is preferred in this as he finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when third over 2m at Thirsk. Another Lincolnday is similar to the selection having posted a better effort at Newcastle recently but Tuscan Gold’s last good run on the Flat was back in April.
