        Verdict

        Now that he’s got his head in front again, El Astronaute may be capable of following up his Epsom win under a penalty though his tendency to hang left on occasions is a concern and LIGHTSCAMERACTION could be a better bet. His best performances had come on the all-weather prior to his second at Chester but he could be well handicapped off this mark. Confessional, who took this race in 2013, is also respected along with Robot Boy, who ran well for a long way at York last time and is back on a fair mark. Dungannon will also be on several short-lists but his absence since a Newmarket third in June is a worry.
