      Verdict

      Orientalist is tried in blinkers and Hanagan will ensure he gets every assistance from the saddle here but the gelding is too inconsistent to recommend, even in this grade. Poyle Judy won twice over this trip at Chepstow in August and wasn't beaten far when fourth at Epsom last time before being thrown out after her jockey failed to weigh in. She has every chance but this looks a good opportunity for NO POPPY to win her first race since scoring in this grade at Leicester at the end of May - she has been tackling stronger opposition lately. Auto Mac won at Beverley in July but has a bit to find at the weights here.
