        Verdict

        Jawwaal hasn’t fired this year but can’t get much lower in the weights. Lord Riddiford beat last week’s impressive Ayr winner Dusky Lord at Goodwood in July but ran no sort of race at Doncaster subsequently. Rayong was unplaced in that Goodwood race but wasn’t beaten far and won here in April. Ready Freddie Go is speedy but a bit hit-or-miss but Runninwild has won two of his last four so enters calculations. VENTURA EXPRESS beat Ginger Jam and Showalong at Beverley in July and has his ground again today so could be the one to be on, despite a wide draw.
