      In depth

      Verdict

      Only Smart Champion of these has not so far won on this track and he is closely matched with Just Hubert on their run together here over an extra half-mile at the end of July when subsequent dual winner Seinesational was unplaced. Stag Horn has won twice over 1m6f this year but the three-year-old has yet to prove he stays this far. Themaxwecan has almost three lengths to find on latest running here and is worse off at the weights but this can go to NUIT ST GEORGES. David Menusier’s stayer is on a career-high mark but has improved again this year and reverts to this trip having shown excellent form over 1m6f this season.
