In depth
Verdict
Lexington Blue was ridden by an apprentice at Kempton last time but never looked like repeating his earlier win over course and distance. Sea Soldier will most likely be winning over the winter but he'll be better for today's outing, his first since May. But BARBARY can race off a lower mark than when scoring at Kempton last month with Clifford Lee's allowance taken into account and he gets the nod to go in again. Benoordenhout is proving better over 1m2f while both Club House and Harry Bosch are worth noting in the betting having tumbled down the weights.
