      Verdict

      Extremity won at Goodwood in July but Master The World bounced back to form to beat the former at York last time. That pair are hard to separate though both have the beating of Lesha on York running. Ticking Katie and Langavat have something to prove stepping up to a mile while Free Code and Rekdhat have posted uninspiring efforts of late. ABOVE THE REST lived up to his name at Nottingham when spread-eagling the field to beat a subsequent winner by five lengths. This is a big step up in class but he has plenty of scope and gets the nod.
