      Verdict

      Glacier Point won at Chepstow in July and has been thereabouts off today’s mark subsequently. But BELLA ALISSA looks the more progressive and is taken to defy a rise in the weights having won over track and trip last month with a subsequent winner back in third. Spirit Of Rosanna scored at Bath recently but is best with plenty of cut in the ground while Case Key faced a difficult task at Doncaster last time and can do better back in this lower grade.
