      Verdict

      IRONCLAD has won his last two at Beverley and Newmarket and is already proven on Polytrack so a hat-trick may be on the cards for Hugo Palmer’s colt. Laafy hasn’t done much wrong over this trip since winning over 1m2f at Leicester in the spring so rates a danger. Selino disappointed when joint favourite at Goodwood in June but would have claims on earlier form making his handicap debut. Zuba has shown his best form on Polytrack so makes more appeal than Fragrant Dawn and Desert Friend.
