        Verdict

        Paul Midgley has four entries with Prestbury Park, who beat Hawaam seven lengths here last month, possibly the best despite a poor run on heavy ground at Nottingham. The three-year-old Autumn Flight has really found his form in the last few weeks, easily landing a heavy-ground handicap at Hamilton three weeks ago, though a 10lb rise makes this more difficult. Penny Pot Lane won here in June and bounced back at Ripon so should go well from 5lb higher but MILITIA can defy a 5lb penalty for last week's Musselburgh victory on soft going and complete a hat-trick.
