        Verdict

        GRAND LIAISON just managed to hold off the attentions of Badea at Haydock last time. She's up in the weights but looks likely to cope with the underfoot conditions better than her nearest rivals and can land a hat trick. Calculated Risk remains in good form though is 8lb higher than July's win at Doncaster and the less exposed types could prove a bigger threat. Beaumont Cooper makes his handicap debut while Any Other Day and Elegant Ophelia also have room for improvement.
