        Verdict

        GRAFFITI returned to the Flat with a convincing success over a longer trip here but scored over today’s distance on the Turf at Nottingham during the summer so should go well again. Ellexis also drops down in trip on the back of better efforts at the track recently while Prince Ali is usually in the mix. Harbour Vision’s rider is claiming 10lb while Finn Russell is also partnered by an apprentice today having failed to threaten at Newcastle a couple of days ago
