Verdict

Eric Alston has trained the winner of the last two renewals and CAPTAIN CORCORAN (NAP) looks to have decent claims in this. The latter made the most of a slide down the weights to score in soft going over course and distance last month and won off a higher mark than today for Johnny Murtagh’s yard in Ireland last year. Ventura Express was a disappointing favourite at Ayr in July and is fitted with headgear while Wade's Magic has been in good form on the all-weather and finished in front of Not On Your Nellie when runner-up at Newcastle though has yet to win on Turf. Lezardrieux beat The Grey Bay at Newcastle last year but Cock A Hoop is less exposed and as she debuts on the Turf.
