        Verdict

        Fitzwilly won over 2m on the Turf course at Lingfield in June and went close again back at the same track last time. Final Choice finished runner-up over track and trip last month when ahead of What A Party but disappointed at Catterick on his latest start and a chance is taken on ESPRIT DE BAILEYS staying this longer trip. A winner in France, the latter made a successful start for Amy Murphy when scoring at Yarmouth recently and may well be ahead of the handicapper.
