      Verdict

      Swordplay scored over the course and distance in June but hasn't made the expected progress nor has Indication Call, a winner at Ayr in May and beaten in nurseries the last three times. Bellarchi has been ultra-consistent and battled back to complete a double at Carlisle on Friday for which she has a 6lb penalty. Chumbaa has an almost identical profile though may just have the edge in receipt of 6lb with her rider's claim taken into account and a course and distance victory to her credit. DC FLYER stepped up to this trip for the first time on his nursery debut here in July and made all. He's up 6lb but getting plenty of weight from his main rivals and can go in again.
