        Verdict

        Plenty with claims in this. Eastern Dragon had looked pretty exposed on Turf until dotting-up by five lengths here last week and steps up in distance today. Nottingham winner Mujazif went close again over 1m2f at Haydock last time and is upped a further 4lb while Archie's Advice remains 6lb higher than his win at Hamilton in May. FRAY hasn't won anywhere since 2014 but is finally back on a winning mark and having recorded a couple of better efforts of late, Jim Goldie’s mare gets the nod in this.
