Going - Good to Soft. 
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - Doc McCoy won with ease in this grade at Warwick at the start of the month and may improve for this step up in trip, but a 7lb higher rating asks for a lot more. With that in mind, POUNDING POET gets the vote. Tom Lacey's charge was just touched off into second in a warmer event at Cartmel in August and has Cameron Iles negating his 3lb rise with his claim. With a similar performance, he could be the one to beat. Ernest Gray completes the shortlist.
