Verdict
Wemyss Point beat Big Time Dancer at Wetherby in November but needs forgiving a poor run at Doncaster on his reappearance, though might appreciate the drop back in trip. CARTWRIGHT (NAP) was quietly fancied for the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham and finished an honourable sixth. He would probably have got closer but for meeting trouble in-running and races off the same mark here with Davy Russell taking over the reins. Colonial Dreams would have claims on his second in a Grade 3 at Ascot in January and Solomon Grey can reverse running in the Lanzarote with Big Time Dancer on better terms and also enters calculations. Kelso scorer Mahlervous wasn’t disgraced at Kempton last month, despite being friendless in the market, while Sky Khan was second in this last year, though is a rare winner nowadays. My Way was entered here yesterday.
