          Verdict

          No surprise that the last time a favourite obliged was back in 2005 and this year's renewal is no easier to predict. Brando should do better back over 6f and Exchequer also returns to today's trip for the first time since finishing fourth at Doncaster in June. Khelman scored in soft ground at Epsom last time but is upped 6lb while Harwoods Volante went close over track and trip before running well again over 7f at Ayr last week. FLYMAN finished ahead of Fast Shot when fourth in last week's Ayr Bronze Cup and is only 2lb higher than when scoring in this grade at Ripon last month. He gets the nod with Guishan and Speedy Move preferred to Heartsong as the latter steps up in class.
