Verdict
Speed Cop has proved himself a very speedy juvenile and is the TEAMtalk selection in the competitive renewal of this race. A winner at Newbury in August she showed good form to finished placed in a Group 2 at Doncaster at the St Leger meeting and will be hard to peg back here. Folio also has placed form in Group company and has run consistently well all season. He did well to finish close up in the valuable sales race at Redcar last week and should put up a good account of himself. Revenue is closely matched with the selection on their Doncaster running and is a course and distance winner however his one encounter with firm ground saw him run one of his poorest runs to date. Sir Albert has been slightly disappointing since winning at York in August and although expected to run a big race the firm ground may count against him.
