    Verdict

    Broughton and Fair Dilemma have been chasing and the former, though probably well handicapped here, still doesn't appear to be enjoying himself. In On The Act looks progressive and beat a decent novice over course and distance in July but LAUDATORY can get back to winning ways over his favourite track and trip. He ran well in a Listed handicap at Market Rasen in July whereas stablemate Cool Macavity hasn't raced since finishing tailed off at the Punchestown Festival in April.
