VerdictWinner at Lingfield (13f, good to firm) in June. 15/2, faded when 10½ lengths sixth of 8 to Cloudy Rose in handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) 52 days ago. The drop back in trip is in his favour.- 4. Pride Of NepalJ: Miss Sarah BowenT: Tony CarrollF: 04252243

VerdictWon this race last year. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (9f, good to firm, 4/1) 9 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Can make a bold bid in this race again.

VerdictC&D winner in May and has added 2 more wins at Windsor and Ffos Las this month. A further 2 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing in his current mood.- 6. Cloudy RoseJ: Mr Paul HaineyT: John BerryF: 623-35114
