CAVENDISH ROAD tops the shortlist here, that also consists of Pha Mai Blue and Sullenberger. Willie Muir's gelding races off a mark of 69 today, which admittedly is 6lb above his highest winning mark to date. However he ran well off a pound lower last time out at Brighton and having run well here before, the son of Bachelor Duke is fancied to gain his fifth career success. The handicapper seems to have forgotten about Warrior Nation as he should be much lower following two abhorrent runs, Sunny Future ran well in defeat last time out at Bath, whilst all of Sonny Parkin's best efforts have come on the July course at Newmarket. The consistent Sullenberger is once again unlikely to be far away, Ugenius has never won over this far, whilst Izzibizzi looks attractively handicapped and shaped with more promise last time out at Kempton. The course winners Pha Mai Blue and Yellow Printer are yet two more to consider, however in what looks an open race, it is Cavendish Road who gets the nod.
