Verdict
Tribal Warrior is upped 6lb for winning here back in July on his only start of the year so far while Shawaamekh remains 7lb higher than when landing a double during the summer. Excellent Times would prefer a faster surface as would Barristan The Bold, who finished in front of stablemate Arcanada when placed at Chester. Three Saints Bay won a conditions race at Thirsk in August but looks high enough in the weights back in a handicap as do both Above The Rest and Blown By Wind. Muntadab won this 2017 and is not badly treated on subsequent winning form but the Haggas yard has a fine strike rate here and MONTATHAM may prove good enough back on soft going today for only his second start handicapping.
