      Verdict

      Richard Hannon has two runners here. CHATHAM HOUSE, a close second in a big field here and the winner of a Class 3 handicap at Leicester last week, is only 3lb higher and should have the beating of stable companion Elysium Dream. Graphite Storm went up 3lb for winning here in July and hasn't quite been able to cope while Aluqair disappointed on his handicap debut at Chepstow following his novice success at Salisbury. Glenn Coco completed a four-timer when scoring over the course and distance in May and has continued to run well so looks the main threat off just 1lb higher.
