Verdict

HAYMARKET ran well for today's jockey when fourth at Goodwood last month. This looks easier and he gets the nod with a similar effort. Rockweiller is a regular in these events and can figure along with Politbureau, who went close under Joanna Mason at this track in July. Victoria Davies gets on well with Al Furat and Barton Bounty isn't out of this despite this season's wins both coming at Ayr.
