      Verdict

      Spirit Dancer went close here before winning at Newcastle in June but is 8lb higher while Victory Chime was narrowly beaten at Sandown recently and can figure again. Group One Power returned a beaten favourite once again at Ascot last time but Dark Pine has faced tougher tasks since winning over track and trip in May. RESTORER has yet to win this year but landed last year’s renewal off a higher mark so Ian Williams’ charge may prove the one to side with.
