    Verdict

    A cracking contest with the weights headed by Face The Facts, who won a Listed race at Newmarket last month but may not be suited by the drop back in distance. Star Of The East came again to win at Haydock last month and Mark Johnston also runs recent Ascot winner Dominating. Gold Star steps up in trip but is a half-brother to stayer Winning Story and will make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick. Star Rock and Bolder Bob are also chasing a three-timer but Brimham Rocks has gone up in the weights again since beaten at Hamilton and looks held on collateral form. THE GRAND VISIR (NAP) was fifth in the Melrose here in August, which has already produced several subsequent winners, and that is possibly the best form on offer - the booking of Silvestre De Sousa hasn't harmed his chances today.
