      Verdict

      A moderate contest can go the way of Suturia, with Archie Wright, Angel River and Whatatodo three others that can play a part. Suturia has been a beaten favourite on her last three outings, but overall, William Muir's filly has the form to take a race of this nature. She will at least go on the ground and is still not that badly handicapped. Archie Wright nearly won a poor affair at Salisbury in June and has only had nine career starts so far, while Angel River will appreciate the fast conditions, but does not have much more to recommend her. Whatatodo was good enough to land a Brighton nursery last July, but this half-sister to Cotosol has gone totally off the boil this term. Finding kind things to say about the rest is even harder, and it is with no great confidence that Suturia is selected.
