        Verdict

        Toffee Vodka, Lil Najima and Chalentina catch the eye here and Toffee Vodka is taken to defy top weight. Lil Najima showed little as a two year old but has shown ability this season with a promising re-appearance at Folkestone followed by a game win at Kempton where she appeared to appreciate a step up in trip. Brought back in distance here, she may find one or two too quick. Henry Cecil's Chalentina seems sure to be in the shake up. She is very consistent but has yet to get her head in front. However, she ran her best race at Nottingham last time and is respected. A winner at Lingfield in August, Toffee Vodka showed his liking for the track and conditions when running well to be placed here last season. There was a lot to like about the way he stayed on to be fourth at Ascot last time and Toffee Vodka may leave his rivals reeling.
