        Verdict

        A competitive line up for this prestigious event and the TEAMtalk vote goes to Nysaean who has plenty going for him. Richard Hannon's colt will relish the testing conditions and showed he would be a force at this level when an impressive five-length Listed winner at Deauville in August. The son of Sadler's Wells has been absent since but goes well fresh and this bold front runner will take plenty of pegging back. Scott's View has improved by over three stones this year having collected no less than eight wins but needs to progress again on his first venture into Pattern company. The Whistling Teal has struggled to make an impact in this grade during the current campaign but German challenger Subiaco has winning form in the mud and has to be respected. Warrsan is a most consistent performer but is untested on ground this testing and is best watched.
