        Verdict

        Luca Cumani has a fine record in this over the years and was successful with Silk Sari last term. He runs another home-bred in KOORA (NAP) today and she may well prove good enough having won her maiden at the track before chasing home Martlet at York with Melodious and Desert Snow behind. Gretchen finished ahead of Asyad when landing a Listed race at Newmarket and Hidden Gold finished ahead of Arabian Comet, Island Remede and Groovejet when runner-up in a Group 3 over today's trip at Goodwood in July. Irish challenger Toe The Line ran a big race when fourth in the Ebor at 25/1 and has a shout on that form and Vive Ma Fille can figure with a repeat of her earlier fifth in the Goodwood Cup.
