      Verdict

      Admiral's Sunset has won twice around here but isn’t getting any younger. Arcade Attraction has been 2-2 over course and distance this summer since joining Sophie Leech but he’s been bumped up a further 10lb while Ben Buie is best watched having pulled up the last twice and Chess Player still has stamina to prove over this trip. BLAZE A TRAIL is 19lb higher than when landing this 12 months ago but is back over the trip for the first time since and Magistrato hasn’t been pulling any trees recently.
