    Verdict

    Wor Willie demolished his field by over seven lengths over course and distance in early July and another competitive effort is expected despite an 8lb rise for the win. He has conditions to suit too. Bearaway came good last time, albeit in a three-runner Leicester claimer but will have to step up on that winning effort in this company. Glory And Honour seeks the hat-trick after wins over this trip but is up two grades in class and MY LITTLE QUEENS is the preference. Only beaten less than a length in the Cumberland Plate on her penultimate start, she steps down a level now after being far from disgraced in Class 3 company at York.
