        Verdict

        Dark War, Rocco's Delight and Spirit Of Rosanna have all won on the all-weather this year but the last-named has been well beaten on turf since and all look worth opposing today. Moonadee has shown little so far but Normandy Knight was quite highly tried in his first season and was third in a Newmarket maiden in August so must have a decent chance eased in grade. PRESSURE (NAP) is just preferred, however, given his stable has been firing in the winners and he wasn't beaten far at Leicester on his reappearance and has been dropped a pound since. Lone Star Boy still looked green when fifth at Redcar so may be the pick of the remainder.
