        Verdict

        At these weights it's not hard to make a case for Attache and he can win this ahead of Dark Charm and Approval. Michael Jarvis' charge has been remarkably consistent all season winning races at Newmarket and Ascot. A reproduction of those efforts over this extended seven furlongs should see back in the winner's enclosure especially if the going remains fast. Approval, if on top of his game, should give the selection most to do and he has been held back for an autumn campaign. Four solid efforts last season marked him out as a Group horse and although slightly disappointing on his reappearance he should be capable of running the selection and likely favourite close. Dark Charm showed he was going the right way when finishing second at Newbury on his latest start but he will need to step up on that effort to challenge the selection Attache.
