      Verdict

      None of the leading protagonists are well served by the draw so course form sways the vote in favour of FOGHORN LEGHORN. A comfortable enough scorer on his first go over course and distance last time he got the better of a subsequent winner and the handicapper hasn't been overly harsh. Night Carnation has a progressive profile but although very impressive when scoring at Epsom in a maiden doesn't look thrown in at the weights. Sacrosanctus got the better of a future winner when getting up late over five furlongs at Kempton and while the extra yardage here will suit he looks better on the Polytrack. A tough race to judge but Foghorn Leghorn looks the percentage call.
