Verdict
Charming Kid edges this at the weights but that was also the case when well beaten in a conditions race at Wolverhampton recently behind third-placed You Never Can Tell. The latter should go well again but SUNSPRITE is preferred despite an absence as Richard Hughes’ colt notched-up a treble during the summer before placing in Listed company and has a decent chance on these terms on his return to action. Don Armado is weighted to beat the recent winners James Street and K Club while Deep Intrigue and No Nonsense are others upped in class having won novice races last month.
