        Verdict

        A fiendishly difficult classified stakes. Academy has been a credit to his connections and is likely to be well supported. Andy Turnell's runners are still earning their corn and he should go well here. However, this trip is probably just on the sharp side of his range and our selection is given elsewhere. Colway Ritz gained a welcome success at York for Clare Roche and he is given the TEAMtalk nod here. Ursa Major produced his best effort for some time at York and will be worth looking at on a return to the all-weather. Kent is a much better horse on an artifical surface and has not sparkled since a purple patch in the Summer. Life is Beautiful is best in on BHB ratings but has something to prove over the trip.
