Verdict

DEMOCRACY DILEMMA showed he's in good heart at Goodwood last time and this is a much lower grade than he's faced for a long time so he could prove very hard to peg back. Spring Is Sprung is another class dropper and could give him most to think about.

1	Very well treated nowadays and ran creditably when fourth of 23 at Goodwood 11 days ago. Now drops markedly in grade and could well dominate this small field so this looks an excellent opportunity to resume winning ways. 1st Pick 1 Democracy Dilemma (Ire) Jockey: Tom Eaves Trainer: Robert Cowell J: Tom Eaves T: Robert Cowell	100	-	-	-	46%

2	Second at York in July after third of 9 over C&D in June and easily excused latest effort when poorly drawn in a higher grade at Goodwood. Should prove more at home here. 2nd Pick 2 Spring Is Sprung (Fr) Jockey: David Nolan Trainer: Paul Midgley J: David Nolan T: Paul Midgley	98	-	-	-	25%

5	Runner-up in lower grade races last 2 starts, bumping into a subsequent winner at Newcastle on the all-weather in June before second of 17 at York 14 days ago. Yet to win on turf but could take a hand in current heart. 3rd Pick 5 Sports Coach (Ire) Jockey: Cam Hardie Trainer: Antony Brittain J: Cam Hardie T: Antony Brittain	97	-	-	-	36%
