Nawamees is bound to be popular with backers given his good recent form but Gary Moore's gelding is undoubtedly better on the Polytrack or on faster ground and a better bet looks to be PRINCE SAMOS, with Boundless Prospect rated the best of the rest. The selection has not won for some time but Ed McMahon's gelding has as a result slipped to a decent mark and ran well on his favoured testing ground when chasing home She's Our Lass at Haydock in July, form on which he looks worth a bet. Michael Chapman's McEldowney is capable of taking a hand but is inconsistent, while George Baker's Siryena is likely to find this tougher than the race that she won at Brighton earlier this month. Boundless Prospect has been racing well on both the Polytrack and on fast ground of late but handles more testing conditions so cannot be discounted but preference is for Prince Samos.
