        Verdict

        Roman Dragon has been in fine form here this year though is drawn high today. He reversed earlier running with Count D'Orsay when runner-up here two runs ago z\while Lihou turned the tables with Lord Riddiford when scoring at Goodwood last month. The latter had earlier beaten Dream Composer when scoring at the same track but it could pay to stick with the three-year-old SEANTRABH who won from an unfavourable draw over track and trip last time having slipped down the weights. Democracy Dilemma looks high enough in the weights having beaten The Defiant at Chelmsford in July.
