        Verdict

        Duke Of Yorkshire showed signs of a resurgence when runner-up at Beverley in one of these events and is preferred to Medieval Bishop. Carol Bartley rode Harrison's Cave when he finished runner-up at Hamilton in June but she partners Grand Diamond today. The latter has decent claims on his recent third at Ayr though has something to find with the runner-up Eilean Mor. However, Hattie Heal was on board BALLYHEIGUE when the latter chased home Rocky Two over course and distance in May and he gets the vote to go one better in this.
