Formscan - Candleford has failed to progress following an impressive win in handicap company at this track in June, so it is easier to side with stablemate HAMISH, who arrives in this having finished a very creditable second behind Kyprios in the Irish St Leger at the Curragh last month. He can improve down in grade, but Cresta bolted up in Listed company at Windsor in August and seems his biggest danger. Third Realm is another not to be underestimated.
