        Verdict

        Push Me has been raised 6lb for scoring at Lingfield and now looks on a high enough mark but Stage Attraction looks reasonably treated if capable of acting on the surface and he's probably got more scope than most. Reachforthebucks has only won on the all-weather and has found 1m2f on Turf stretching his stamina recently so he's on the short-list but Ree's Rascal is 12lb higher than when last successful. GEORGE BAKER has had nine runs on Polytrack without winning but he's gone close on occasions and Frankie Dettori was on board when he scored at Newmarket in July. He ran well enough on his reappearance at Doncaster and is handed the vote in a tough finale.
