Kyprios heads the market and he should have won this last year before losing to Trawlerman. Kyprios should win but his odds help us find an each-way angle at a better price. I have slight doubts over Trawlerman and Sweet William based on the John and Thady Gosden yard form. Al Nayyir won at Newmarket last time out and he relished the soft ground, while he has form on quick ground too. He is fresh and he stays so I’ll take him as an each-way shout.
Montassib has a lot going for him but the draw of stall six could make this tricky for him. I’m also slightly against Mill Stream because of the ground. I’m going to take a chance on Kind Of Blue and hope that he can handle the ground. He’s the least exposed runner in here and he’s got a good draw in stall 17.
I’m a big fan of Tiffany. Her only defeat of the season came at Haydock where she slipped on heavy ground. The meeting was actually abandoned that day so I’m forgiving her second-place finish. I really like her and she’s potentially top class. She can take a step up and show how good she is. She can handle the ground and she clearly stays.
Charyn and Tamfana top the market but I prefer the latter as Charyn has had a hectic season without a lengthy break. It could catch up with him. Checkandchallenge could be a value pick at a huge price. This is a tough race but he shows his best form in Autumn meetings and he finishes off well in bigger fields. He was second at Sandown in September and Christophe Soumillon is a very good jockey booking. He might not win but he could easily hit the frame.
I’m Calandagan’s biggest fan. I was all over him in the King Edward at the Royal meeting. He ran even better when second behind City of Troy at York last time out. Economics is a very good horse but Calandagan is a superstar. There’s more to come from him so I can’t oppose him.
Thunder Run in stall 21 could be the pace angle and he could go forward. I quite like Mirsky for David O’Meara with Kieran Shoemark on board. He shaped well at Ascot last time out when getting a terrible draw. He stayed on to finish fifth and he saw the race out well. He finished second at York a few runs ago and that wasn’t a fluke. The hood might bring more out of him and he’s a decent price.
