    Verdict

    Dichato was placed over shorter trips on Turf earlier in the year and has his first start since third at Epsom in July. He’s weighted to get the better of Urban Soul, who went close over 1m2f in a handicap at Chelmsford on his latest start, but WINDS OF FIRE (NAP) is preferred. The Godolphin colt ran out of ground when making a late surge over a mile at Chelmsford a fortnight ago and was beaten less than a length in third. This extra distance looks sure to suit on that evidence and he gets the nod with Stirling Value looking to need more time on the back of a modest debut effort.
