        Verdict

        Contingency Fee has been making hay in lower grade races but his winning run may come to an end in this better company. Kelmscott steps up in trip after scoring over 1m2f here while Berrahri finished well ahead of Foresee when scoring at Epsom and carries 4lb extra. RAVENS ARK won over course and distance in May and has placed in all three subsequent outings. He gets another chance with the possibility of first-time cheekpieces bringing further improvement. Destinado placed when trained in France and debuts for a new yard.
