      Verdict

      Folkswood was bumped up 9lb after making a winning reappearance at Newmarket and another 2lb for finishing third last time at Ascot. Brorocco arrives on a hat-trick but steps up a couple of grades for this. Rockspirit is consistent but is probably a couple of pounds too high, though should again beat Lord George. HAALAN is on a career-high mark after making all at Nottingham but may get his own way out in front again and could be tough to pass. Felix Mendelssohn is preferred to Montsarrat and Ansaab of the others.
