Verdict
A tricky end to proceedings. Maraayill won over course and distance in June but has been beaten twice since in this higher grade. Gratzie is upped in class after victories at Bath and Epsom while Weekendatbernies has been creeping up the weights despite not winning. Debit can't get his head in front and has still to convince over this trip and Cool Bahamian has proved very frustrating, though has the past form to figure. The lightly-raced ABOVE THE REST is a speculative selection as easy ground was a legitimate excuse at Thirsk earlier this month. He'd been very impressive on a fast surface at Nottingham the time before. Cincuenta Pasos may be best of the rest.
