        Verdict

        Samsons Son is the highest rated on official figures but has been beaten out of sight this year so no surprise to see him dropping down to this level. However, UNDERWRITTEN makes more appeal as Donald McCain's charge has been placed on his last two starts on the Flat and acts on the ground. Course regular Eijaaz is always feared in this grade and won this race in 2010. He also had Trcksofthetrade well behind when winning here during the summer while Arley Hall can also be given a chance in this company as he looks a shade high in the weights in handicaps at present.
