        Verdict

        IRON CONDOR is still improving judged on his recent victory at Yarmouth. He won twice over C&D last year and, though he's 6lb higher than his last win here, there looks more to come. Viking Storm went close in lesser company at Lingfield in July but has more on his plate today, while Ajeeb took the step up to today's distance in his stride when third in a maiden on his latest start. Nibani has claims if taking to the Polytrack, but the unexposed Warneford looks a bigger danger from the bottom of the weights.
