      Verdict

      It's difficult to assess the worth of Wily Fox's form. The French import finished runner-up over a mile at Clairefontaine in August and has his first start for James Eustace here. Flying Phoenix has a leading chance judged on her third to Tijori over the extended mile here last month, but a chance is taken on CARAVAN ROLLS ON. Peter Chapple-Hyam's colt never looked like winning on his recent debut over a mile at Lingfield, but caught the eye staying on strongly in the closing stages and today's longer trip should spark improvement.
