Ingenuity sets the benchmark and was a gritty, determined winner at Carlisle last month, and with that form having a solid feel, he's likely to play a leading role on AW debut. However, it's also difficult to knock what the likes of Character Witness and Fabulous Red have achieved to date, and with both horses bred to be suited by longer trips they should relish this stiff and galloping 6f trip. The same comment is likely true with regards AWESOMETANK who caught the eye making strong late headway at Windsor on debut (5f). This extra furlong appears certain to suit, and she is partnered by the excellent Kevin Stott who has mastered riding this track to perfection.
