        Verdict

        A low draw is a big advantage on the sprint course here so course specialist Tagula Night will have no excuses. He was successful under Ryan Moore here a little under three weeks ago and it will be a surprise if he's not in the firing-line again despite a 6lb higher mark. But NEW FFOREST should be cherry-ripe now after a couple of promising efforts in competitive handicaps at Epsom and Ayr. She's been eased a little in the weights and Oisin Murphy takes off a further 3lb. Two of Robert Cowell's trio, Goldream and Normal Equilibrium, will start out wide and Doctor Parkes has also been done no favours by the draw. Neither has Salisbury winner Extrasolar but Lady Gibraltar is interesting dropped a grade with Fallon booked as she was only beaten a head off a 2lb higher mark at Ascot in September.
