      Verdict

      Now may be the time to stick with Great Scott, who acquitted himself well at Doncaster on Saturday, and gets the nod over Double Vodka and Futoo, who are both at the top of their game and will not make life easy for the selection. The same can be said of Game Dame, who looked worth another try over this trip when staying on powerfully over a mile at Chepstow last time. Rio de Jumeirah made the most of a good opportunity last time and his confidence should have been buoyed by his victory. However, the lack of pace on much softer ground paved the way for him on that occasion and he has a lot more to do here. Which brings us back to Great Scott, who ran a blinder in a much better company at the weekend. The Fasliyev gelding has plenty of stamina from his dam's side, which was played to good effect with a confident ride from Stanley Chin, who again has his chance to prove his worth in the saddle with this improving individual today.
