Formscan - Sophiesticate has to be of interest following back-to-back seconds at Ayr, but marginal preference is for NAUGHTY NIALL. Ian Williams' gelding won at Yarmouth in July and was only narrowly denied when third at Leicester subsequently. A further 1lb rise should not prevent another bold bid and the four-year-old tops the shortlist. The rest all have questions to answer, but Wadacre Giorgio is the pick of them.
