Verdict
Leith Hill Legasi may struggle to confirm course and distance running in November with Burgess Dream on 14lb worse terms. Kinari was tailed off that day but is probably capable of better. The top weight had earlier beaten BEBINN just under three lengths at Chepstow but the latter is now 19lb better off so looks the pick of the weights today and can recoup losses incurred when a beaten favourite at Huntingdon subsequently. Cheat The Cheater is back over a more suitable distance and could figure but Veauce De Sivola ran poorly at Huntingdon on Friday and Ravens Brook is still out of sorts.
