      Verdict

      Charlie D has only raced over a trip this far once before so still has stamina to prove but Le Torrent has won three times over 2m on Polytrack and does have a course victory to his name. HORATIO STAR wasn’t stopping when successful over 1m6f here nine days ago and a quick double may be on the cards for Brian Meehan’s charge as he remains unexposed and is only 5lb higher. Beer With The Boys also tries a new trip but Gemini is a course winner who has travelled a long way for this.
