      Verdict

      Bannock was big disappointment in last week's Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar though he'd reportedly missed some work and has the best proven form if back on song. Roger Sez had Miss Lahar and Luv U Forever well behind when winning a Group 3 at Ayr three weeks ago, but that was such an improvement on her previous form that it could be she needs testing ground to show her best. A chance is taken on SWISS SPIRIT, who won his maiden over C&D in June and looked in need of the outing in the Mill Reef at Newbury last time on his return from a three-month break. Desert Gazelle and Semayyel both have a bit to find on their return to sprinting.
