        Verdict

        On Fire has been raised 3lb for finishing second at Chester back in June while Al Kout went close over 1m6f last time but never threatened when placed over today’s trip at Chepstow earlier. Tommy Docc was still beaten six lengths when runner-up at Beverley and Cry Wolf’s winning run came to end at Bath recently and he’s 2lb higher today. MELINOE has been competing in Pattern company without success but was placed in a Class 2 contest at Goodwood when last seen in a handicap. With improvement expected stepping up in distance for this, Sir Mark Prescott’s filly gets the vote.
