Verdict
MESHARDAL has already had a brilliant season, winning four times. He’s up another 4lb from his Catterick success but had Scofflaw well behind on that occasion and still isn't badly treated on his best form. My Name Is Rio won in this grade at Ayr in June but is undoubtedly better over 5f, as is Singeur. The Commendatore looks a fast-ground performer but The Armed Man is respected as he is 2-2 over course and distance and has shown he handles an easy surface. Bogart continues to struggle to get his head in front.
