Giant of a horse for whom fences surely beckon sooner rather than later, good comeback run off a break when second at Stratford last time, making nice ground from off the pace throughout last mile. Obvious chance of going one better here.
In cracking form and made it three wins from last four starts with victory over an in-form rival at Exeter last time, but 10lb rise for that and this step up in trip ask new questions of him today. Can't be ruled out, but this is tougher.
Stays well and a winner at this trip at Worcester in July, but well below that form next time out only highlights his inconsistency. May find this ground a bit on the soft side too, and overall impression is that others look stronger.
Not shown much in four starts so far but bred to want a trip, and no surprise if doing a little better on handicap debut today. However, yard yet to really get going this autumn and as such, passed over today.
Has shown only the merest glimmer of ability in four starts over hurdles and although she goes handicapping on a basement mark here, this step up in trip needs to have a major impact if she's to hold any chance.
Was starting to look a bit disappointing but turned that around with a much better effort at Worcester last time, finishing a close third to an in-form rival. Still looks on a fair mark and if handling this likely softer ground, looks a player.
Lightly raced for one his age, was well backed to make a return to form at Uttoxeter last time, and ran better in finishing second. Stays this trip and should handle the ground, so chances if taking another step forward on that.
Long in the tooth now and some time since he showed any meaningful form and hard to make any sort of case for. Mark falling fast but he shows no sign of being able to take advantage.
Forecasts
Market Road (15/8), Triopas (4/1), Classico Dais (4/1), Coudefoudre (8/1), Balkinstown (10/1), Backoftherock (10/1), Hollow Park (14/1), Blackwell Synergy (33/1)
He might have twelve stone on his back but the giant CLASSICO DAIS was built for carrying weights, and with Bridget Andrews taking over from a young 10lb claimer in the saddle, can register a success here.Triopas looks to be heading the right way and can give him the most to think about. Market Road may be best of the rest.
