      Verdict

      Fuzzy Logic beat stablemate Tijori by six lengths in a similar race at Chepstow last week. But the runner-up is now 5lb better off and jockey booking suggest the placings could be reversed. You don't see many J P McManus-owned runners in sellers and even fewer will be partnered by Barry Geraghty this season so CHURCH FIELD has to be worth an interest. He won a handicap at Fontwell in August and has the highest rating of these. Bar A Mine could provide the biggest threat back over hurdles after failing to take to fences.
