      Verdict

      Champagne Champ has been winning lower grade handicaps and carries a double penalty while Azilian is also upped in class after scoring on the all-weather. Twitch was beaten on his handicap debut and Alla Breve will need to improve having only won a maiden at Ffos Las. Scooner steps up in trip but down in class and can figure if lasting home while Bnedel also attempts a longer distance but remains 5lb higher than when winning at Haydock in June. The latter's stablemate SHELL BAY has been raised the same amount for his Ascot success but is proven over 1m4f and may come out best in a tight contest.
