    Verdict

    Catawollow won a seller here last month but has been well beaten in two starts since. Langley was second in a claimer on the Polytrack last month and is lightly-raced over timber, as is the three-year-old Black Dragon, though the latter has shown little so far. Realisation also has a bit of scope and would go very close if reproducing his run at Newton Abbot in August but Malcolm Jefferson is a rare visitor here and can land the spoils with WHITE DIAMOND. Quite highly tried over hurdles in the spring, she has been running well without reward on the Flat this year and should find this well within her compass. Diamond Twister appears to have a bit to find on the form book and hasn't been seen since finishing tailed off on the all-weather in June.
