    Verdict

    TALAYEB has been hard to keep right and has raced just the once this year when third at Nottingham in July. He looks to have found a good opportunity to finally get off the mark here. American Smooth was fancied for his racecourse debut but gets a first-time visor here after a disappointing effort, while Wishformore looks out of sorts at present and is hard to fancy. On The Cusp produced a better effort last time but looks up against it on these terms.
