      Verdict

      This has been run twice and favourites have won both times. ACCRA BEACH is likely to be the market leader here, as he has been in his two runs since finishing runner-up here in June. He was odds-on when beaten by a promising Godolphin newcomer at Leicester last month and looks ready to go one better. Atletico showed promise in both starts last summer but has a long absence to overcome while the only-four-year-old engaged, My Major, was beaten by a year younger rival at Bath, though he was staying on at the finish over the minimum trip when Exoplanet Blue was behind.
