        Verdict

        Commitment Lecture, Azreme and Topatoo have the best form going into this open affair, and Commitment Lecture can teach his rivals a lesson. Azreme won on the all-weather at Southwell in January and returned to form with a decent second on his return to Turf last time at Chepstow. That was an encouraging performance and he is worth considering carefully. A winner at York in August, Topatoo ran a blinder on his re-appearance when chasing home Major Magpie on his re-appearance. The trainer had a winner at York on Wednesday and he looks sure to go close. A course and distance winner in July, Commitment Lecture was an impressive winner at Thirsk on his re-appearance and is only five pounds higher here. Commitment Lecture can lead them home.
