      Verdict

      Several of these are course regulars but HE’S OUR STAR looks to be firmly back on track and Mollie Phillips claims a valuable 3lb. Grandstand, on the other hand, is hard to catch right and Beau Geste is still 4lb higher than when successful here in July. Thomas Lanfiere has twice finished behind the selection since beating Harlequin Rose here at the height of summer but Dawn View is back in the right grade and should go well while In The Cove won off a higher mark at Chepstow last year.
