      Verdict

      We like the look of Climate Change here ahead of mainly James Caird. There was plenty to like about the way that Climate Change weaved his way through the field at Goodwood last time to win cosily and, having left a very good impression on that occasion, we reckon he can further build on it today. A repeat of James Caird's third to Pedrillo in a competitive handicap at York last time would put him in with leading claims here but Artistic Style probably needs juice in the going to be most effective, and Isidore Bonheur is holding her form well although she might have to settle for place money again. Of the others, Best Prospect and Toshi are lightly raced and open to some improvement but, to say that Climate Change won with a bit in hand at Goodwood last time is understating things and, raised just six pounds for that, he can make it three wins in a row today.
