      In depth

      Verdict

      Critique finished a close-up fourth at Kempton under Oisin Murphy back in June. But the latter also partnered CHOSEN STAR to victory at Windsor last time and he sticks with Michael Bell’s filly, who can go in again raised only 3lb. The remainder are harder to recommend with Party Planner disappointing when upped to today’s trip at Ripon and Filo's Flyer stepping up from 7f but Thomas Percy may improve now handicapping and fitted with a tongue-tie.
