Verdict
A very poor quality handicap with nothing arriving in good form. D K TRAVEL will be having his 15th start and has yet to win but his two races in September would give him a shout and he can't go any lower in the ratings so gets the nod. Three Majors is the only one of these to have won on the track or over the trip and he's now on his lowest ever mark so has to be a threat while Guiding Star has actually won a race, at Fairyhouse in June, which puts him in the frame. Polymnia won at Lingfield for Richard Hannon though has shown nothing on Turf for new connections but Baby Power ran well enough in her two starts in August after a year's absence to suggest she can make her presence felt.
