    Verdict

    Field Game's victory came at Kempton where he won easily but he couldn't quite quicken when runner-up at Wolverhampton and this is a sharp track. Park Glen landed a Newcastle maiden and a nursery at Ffos Las, both on soft ground, before being outclassed in a Listed race at York. She'll find this more to her liking though BRANDO is just preferred. Kevin Ryan's colt has improved with racing and the form of his two recent defeats at York looks strong enough for this. Marigot Bay has been well beaten since landing a Leicester maiden in August but Ince Moss showed plenty of speed over 6f at Haydock and will have come on for the experience.
