AWSAAF has less to prove than most, and with conditions firmly in his favour, he's taken to add to his Leicester success in June. Gamesome would be a big threat on his latest Haydock win, let alone his smart form of yore, but his draw is not ideal for one with his run-style, and perhaps a bigger threat will come from The Grey Zebedee, who has run creditably on his last couple of outings.
