        Verdict

        Hayek won over track and trip in June, his only previous visit to the track, and Royal Holiday is a prolific course winner. The latter showed signs of a resurgence at Carlisle last time. Palace Dragon carries a penalty for winning at Lingfield on his latest start and Ivy Port remains 6lb higher than her course success back in January. BLAZEOFENCHANTMENT went close in a higher grade handicap here last time, finishing well clear of the third, so it's John Wainwright's charge that gets the nod on that form.
