      Verdict

      Though often in the mix, Gentlemen is a rare winner nowadays and Bobby Joe Leg’s recent placed efforts here have been over 6f, the same distance as both previous wins. Mudawwan is not the most consistent but scored off a similar mark here in September while a couple of these missed out on hat-tricks on their latest starts. Chosen World was well beaten recently having landed a course and distance double earlier but GREY DESTINY missed out by only a neck at Wolverhampton last week and he gets another chance in his current form racing off the same mark today.
