      Verdict

      Pyjama Party is upped 8lb after only winning by a neck at Haydock last time and Third Time Lucky is preferred racing off a similar mark to when beaten less than a length at Goodwood. Get Knotted failed to cope with a 5lb rise at York last time but drops down a grade and can figure while Marco Botti's new inmate Mia Eccellenza has won twice in Italy though is hard to assess. Sir Michael Stoute won this in 2013 with Altharoos and MUKHAYYAM (NAP) sports the same colours. He was well beaten when attempting to make all over 7f last time but had gone close over today's trip at Ayr before that and a similar effort could see him come out best.
