Verdict
TANIT RIVER has yet to finish out of the first two over fences and was particularly impressive at Chepstow last time. This will be more difficult off a 9lb higher mark but his stable is back among the winners and Alan Johns claims a handy 3lb. Commis D'office is having his first run for Venetia Williams and hasn’t raced since June but could be well treated. Captain Redbeard opened his account at Wetherby last month and Wuff will have benefited from his run at Lingfield but the handicapper may have reeled in Palm Grey. Aqua Dude has shown promise and looks the pick of the remainder.
