        Verdict

        Valley of Fire was ahead of George William and Exchequer when winning at Haydock last month but came up short raised 3lb at Yarmouth. Loyalty, Baddilini and Plucky Dip were all beaten less than a length on their respective latest starts but are upped in class but Brazos moves in the opposite direction and won in this grade at Doncaster in July. AL KHAN (NAP) is now back on a winning mark and it showed at Haydock last week when finishing third in a blanket finish. Kevin Ryan’s charge gets the vote to come out best in this.
