Verdict

Roger Charlton's SPOKEN has shown improved form of late, was value for more than the winning margin would suggest when successful over 1m2f at Nottingham last month and he can complete a hat-trick racing off an 8lb higher mark today. Sir Michael Stoute's Botanist has his first outing as a three-year-old and first in a handicap so has to be considered, while Amanda Perrett's Kempton maiden winner, Mirror Lake, faces no easy task first time in a handicap off a mark of 88. Luca Cumani's Luc Jordan disappointed at Pontefract in June when last seen and of more interest may be Gary Moore's Ascot winner South Cape, who has run well in two starts since that success in June.
