Verdict

Fayez won a decent handicap at Goodwood recently with Beringer, Johnny Drama and Ventura Knight behind, though never figured in the John Smith’s Cup over track and trip earlier in July and needs everything to go his way. Rise Hall is still improving having won at Newmarket last time but faces a tougher task in this as do other recent winners Furzig, Dragon Mall and Mikmak. Victory Command won at Chelmsford last week but had failed to trouble FOREST OF DEAN when the latter scored with plenty in hand at Goodwood at the start of the month. A 7lb rise may not be enough to anchor John Gosden’s colt on that evidence and he can go in again. Tudor City is fresh from winning over hurdles in Ireland but ran well in a Premier Handicap on the Flat at Leopardstown before that and can race off the same mark.
