Came back from a break to produce a career best on a surface taking his record here to 2/5. Made all on that occasion and looked suited by that tactic and could get an easy lead again.

2/1
C&D winner who returns from a break having been lightly raced on this surface but looks to have plenty to find on the evidence of his last two starts. The handicapper has dropped him a few pounds though and a return to Fibresand may well revive his fortunes.

Just one outing on this surface which resulted in a place and has won twice on the AW. Back from a break (last ran in June) when not seen to best effect and needs a strong gallop to operate off. Interesting contender if fit and ready to go after the absence on a surface he has potential on.

Looked back to his best when winning last time out despite failing to lead although that was helped by an easing mark. Has no penalty to carry here and runs off the same mark over a furlong further with the same capable claimer on board.

Only had one previous try on the AW and a newcomer to this surface but well held on his last run on the Flat.

Verdict

Not a lot of depth in this race and on current form it looks to be a straight fight between the two last time out winners Samtu and STORM KING. The former very much got the run of the race to win his last race and has to carry a penalty here whereas Storm King goes unpenalised and that may just tip the balance of power in his favour. Finding one to bustle up that duo is hard but both Busy Street and Alshan Fajer have shown a little bit of potential on this surface and could make this a contest if they are on their game.
  1. Storm King
  2. Samtu
  3. Alshan Fajer
