        Verdict

        A couple of these attempt to land a treble though Alfredo’s recent double came on the all-weather and he had been beaten out of sight in all previous starts on Turf. TREVISANI also won on the all-weather last time but scored at Haydock before that and David Lanigan’s charge is taken to defy a 6lb rise having won a shade cosily at Kempton. Star Rider won this last year and but is 5lb higher than a more recent success at Goodwood in July but Medburn Cutler never threatened despite finishing second at Newbury a week ago and usually saves his best for Chepstow.
