Verdict

Young Rascal will take all the beating if finding last season's form, but he's been a bit disappointing, and this track is not sure to suit, so the vote goes to September Stakes winner ROYAL LINE, who has a penalty to concede, but looks sure to run to his best. Weekender could do with something giving him a lead, and would come into the reckoning in such a scenario.
