      Verdict

      Windforpower never looked like catching the winner LADY POPPY over track and trip last time. George Moore's mare should go close again and can also confirm running with Eland Ally. Orient Class was well beaten off today's mark in September having won at Ayr before that so Rusty Rocket makes more appeal dropping down a grade having slid down the weights. Threes Grand has also taken a tumble in the handicap but has not won since 2013 and looked no nearer to doing so at Ripon last time.
