      Verdict

      Oh This Is Us won a Group 3 last year but hasn’t reproduced that form this season and isn’t getting any younger. Fellow nine-year-old You're Hired is also out of sorts and Colour Image has a few pounds to find on official ratings. United Front hasn’t run since April and has never won on Turf. Carolus Magnus has raced over 1m2f the last twice but still looks the biggest danger to the three-year-old AL MARMAR (NAP), a winner here in July and not disgraced in decent handicaps since.
