        Verdict

        Popping Along only had two rivals to beat at Fontwell in August and is 5lb higher, though still looks one of the more likely winners of this. KAYF WILLOW could be another for Richard Johnson, however, as she's been struggling for pace over shorter trips despite landing the odds at Wetherby in May. Amour D'or's victory in the French Provinces is hard to evaluate but she had shown promise in maidens previously and makes more appeal than Titch Strider. Midnight Sapphire is a course and distance winner and preferred to the one-paced Isabellesprincess of the others.
