      Verdict

      A competitive finale, despite the small field. Panama City arrives off the back of a maiden win at Beverley and is unexposed in handicaps while Head Chef is a pound lower than when successful over course and distance in June. Piastrella still looks fairly treated despite a 3lb rise for winning over 7f at York and appears to hold Dougies Dream on collateral form. Emperor Caradoc may have benefited from a short break but DUNGAR GLORY has run well on both previous visits to the track and a first win on Turf is overdue.
