    Verdict

    Documenting may be a 10-year-old but he is still capable in this grade and on a decent mark at present. Azano has placed in three of his six starts this season while Silver Samurai got back to winning ways in The Grey Horse Handicap at Newmarket when Mitrosonfire was fourth. Atrium dead-heated at Doncaster in July but was well beaten off this mark in races either side. UNDER THE TWILIGHT (NAP) has won over 6f and 7f this year and looks the form pick on her latest second at Windsor even though the winner of that race has been well beaten since.
