        Verdict

        Master Nimbus and Zefooha are closely linked on their clash in July, however HARCAS seemed enlivened by the visor last time and if it works again then a 4lb rise may not be enough to stop a follow-up victory. Martin Todhunter's gelding popped up at 22/1 in early August but there didn't seem to be much fluke about the result. He is unexposed over this trip and this useful dual-performer should give it a bold show from the front. Fistral's latest third to Baan at Thirsk reads well, unlike his wins-to-runs ratio, whilst Fenners is consistent but ultimately frustrating to follow and although he has a 3lb drop in the weights today, he would only arouse real interest if heavily supported in the betting. Goldan Jess was second to the selection but is only 2lb better off for a length defeat; he has since shown his good form with a win over hurdles at Sedgefield and looks an obvious danger. Simple Jim disappointed last time out but is better than that effort behind Fistral, the step up in trip should suit Outland, whilst Cripsey Brook has run recently as if the years are catching up with him. Harcas it is who is taken to gain another course and distance win.
