    In depth

    Verdict

    Another small field but all five runners probably have some sort of chance. Mirage Dancer won here on debut last year and has been taking on top-flight opposition this season. He was third in the Great Voltigeur at York last month and should appreciate the drop back to 1m2f. Best Of Days won the Royal Lodge last year but has struggled in the main this season. Mount Logan is a consistent sort in Listed grade and won this last year but there are going concerns this time, though he was ahead of Red Verdon when third at Newmarket in July. SUMBAL is the only one guaranteed to relish the soft going. He hasn’t raced in almost a year but is a genuine Group 2 performer at his best so it may be worth taking a gamble on his fitness.
