Verdict

Cabimas has been a little disappointing since beating Friday's Bangor winner Clarion Call over 2m1f here in June so it may be worth sticking with SPECIAL ACCOUNT, even though the latter is conceding 7lb. Jeremy Scott's charge is proven on soft ground and stays further than this so should have no problem handling today's conditions. Despite finishing second, Fashion Faux Pas was well beaten at Stratford last time so best of the rest may be the largely unexposed American Legend.
