Heir To Be and Vacario both have claims on the pick of their form but face no easy task under their big weights and a safer option looks to be PANZER. Don McCain's gelding showed that this distance was of no concern to him when running a close third when stepped up to 3m2f at Cartmel on his most recent start in August and he can go two better today. Jonjo O'Neill's Sea Cliff has harshly gone up 6lb for his narrow success over course and distance last month, while Brendan Powell's Fongoli could probably do with some help from the handicapper. Any market support for David Pipe's Barlin Bay would be of interest but he is hard to recommend on recent form.
