    Verdict

    KAPSTADT would have to be the selection in this if making a quick reappearance following a fine run, when meeting traffic problems, behind Hassle in a Listed handicap at Market Rasen on Saturday. Alyasan has improved since landing a Stratford seller in June, though still looks on a high enough mark despite Bridget Andrews' claim. Venue returned to form over course and distance last time and is only 5lb higher but The Grey Taylor returns from a break and Ifandbutwhynot is hard to catch right nowadays while Russian Royale remains out of sorts.
