      Verdict

      This looks a decent contest, though course and distance winner Indian Voyage and Nautical Twilight are both returning from a break with the former better on ground with some give. Theflyingportrait has been in terrific form and, though carrying a penalty for his latest easy win at Perth, has to go on the short-list. Roman Flight beat a useful sort at Stratford in July but is still creeping up the weights. GURKHA BRAVE (NAP) has been racing over longer trips this summer and could be some value back over his best distance give he only weakened off the home turn when fifth at Stratford last month. Imjoeking has plenty to prove at present.
