      Verdict

      Hora is the only realistic danger to Legend Erry and Jane Chapple-Hyam's gelding is difficult to oppose; Captain Smoothy could lead the remainder home. He ran out a sixteen length winner when stepped up to a mile six for the first time a week ago and could make light of his penalty. He has an extra quarter of a mile to cover today but it's hard to envisage that getting in his way and he can complete his hat-trick. Hora has another race in her but her chances rest with the blinkers bringing about some improvement as she doesn't appear to have a great deal in hand of the assessor. Sir Mark Prescott will, no doubt, find a suitable opportunity for her but Legend Erry should take all the beating today.
