        Verdict

        None of these tick all the boxes so a token vote goes to HYPERLINK. He scored at Ripon before disappointing on the Polytrack last time and may return to form back on this surface. Honest Deal is 12lb higher than his latest win at Wolverhampton in July and Gosforth Park has been raised 9lb for his surprise win at Newcastle last time. Pertuis would prefer faster ground and Mohawk Ridge needs a longer trip while Dispol Diva's win at Musselburgh in June looks like a fluke as she's been beaten out of sight twice since then.
