      Verdict

      ROUGH SKETCH narrowly gets our vote here ahead of Penang Cinta and Venture Capitalist. Rough Sketch and Penang Cinta are the only course and distance winners here, both in their last outings. Rough Sketch made his advantage in the weights count in a better race to finish a length ahead of Penang Cinta, who subsequently won here off a higher mark than when triumphing here earlier in the summer. Rough Sketch's five pounds advantage here swings it in his favour for us, especially with Brighton specialist Seb Sanders on board. If anything can split these two rivals it could be Venture Capitalist. Only rated a pound behind Penang Cinta, the weights are in his favour here for what's a step up in trip for Luca Cuman's gelding. We expect the top two to dominate though, with preference being for Rough Sketch.
