        Verdict

        A novice winner on the Rowley course here back in May, WADILSAFA tried his luck over 1m2f in a Group 3 at Ascot last time but failed to land a blow. The Frankel colt will be more at home in this grade and has plenty of scope. Baraweez has won twice over 7f at Chester this year and Get Knotted has been competing over the same distance without success. Third Time Lucky won last year’s Lincoln and though failing to win again since, he wasn’t beaten far at Ayr last time and is preferred to Parys Mountain, who scored over track and tip last month but is 7lb higher. Bless Him remains 8lb higher than when landing the Britannia last season and Rousayan saves his best for Beverley.
