Verdict
SCOFFSMAN won at Yarmouth and though beaten when favourite at Newmarket pulled much too hard and can return to winning ways. Savitar has run well on soft ground and gained his first victory over this trip at Lingfield from just 4lb lower. Harry Beau has been beaten in a claimer and a seller in recent weeks but Mabo won readily at Ffos Las, though soft ground would be a concern. The latter was beaten a head by Incentive on fast going on the same track earlier and the winner has a pull in the weights so should confirm the form. Confrerie completed a double at Brighton in midsummer though that was on very fast ground while Takeonefortheteam is 1-20 though is 1lb lower than his winning mark.
