        Verdict

        Repertory has the best form in the field he was fifth in a Group 3 last time out and this represents a big drop in class, but his best form is with more cut in the ground. Bali Royal rates the main danger he was a good third behind Dragon Flyer and Funfair Wane last time and that form has been well franked since. Smart Predator keeps his best form for this track but he has been done no favours by the draw. Absent Friends made all the running to score last time out but the uphill finish on this track is not sure to suit. Follow Flanders has been disappointing of late but will have this race run to suit and she could go well at a fair price with conditions inn her favour. Henry Hall is a course and distance winner but he has ran as if in the handicappers grip of late.
