        Verdict

        A chance is taken MR RECKLESS stays this longer trip having placed in all three starts over 1m2f since winning at Wetherby in May. He looks the most likely to run his race. Hibernicus lost his unbeaten record when tailed off at Goodwood on his handicap debut while Delsheer is upped in class after finishing a well beaten second here back in July. Super Kid has struggled since scoring over track and trip earlier and Irish raider Spiral Galaxy is 8lb higher than when winning at Navan. Occupy looks no nearer winning and Jelly Monger’s only win on the Flat was back in 2014.
