TOWERLANDS PARK is forgiven a tame effort in the November Handicap at Doncaster last time, and fancied to maintain his perfect record on the AW. He showed up well at Newbury in a Class 2 event on his first start this year in late October and perhaps his Town Moore run came a but quickly. He previous two AW wins have come at this time of year in 2015 and 2016 and, with first-time cheekpieces on, he should mount another bold bid. Not much separated Fayez (first) and Brex Drago (second) at Lingfield recently and both should get involved again while ex-Ballydoyle inmate Battle Of Marathon ran well over C&D this week already. Four-time C&D winner Perfect Cracker and August scorer Pensax Boy are worth market checks give they have form here.
