      Verdict

      Storm Rock is penalised for last week's win at Leicester where he beat Pintura. But the latter re-opposes on much better terms and can reverse running. Beach Bar also won at Leicester last time when scoring by five lengths and should go close again but a tentative vote goes to another recent winner in YOU'RE FIRED. The latter scored in this grade at York last time in soft ground and is also preferred to Fire Ship, who has been competing in pattern company of late but was well beaten in handicap at Doncaster in September.
