        Verdict

        Alexander M has won on his last three visits here, all over this trip and the latest on heavy going. But he was beaten around three lengths by shock winner MUTAMADED (NAP) at Ripon last month and Ruth Carr's charge is better off at the weights so hopefully can prove the run wasn't a fluke. Bahama Moon was well behind the former here last month but showed that to be all wrong when landing a heavy-ground handicap on a return visit a fortnight ago when Gabrial's Kaka was behind. Al Destoor is 8lb higher than his victory here in June while the assessor looks to have hold of Gulf Of Poets after his four-timer.
