In depth
Verdict
Tour De Ville has gone up 7lb since scoring at Worcester in August but has won a bumper on soft going. Air De Rock may need more time judged on his two runs so far in this country but Tobacco Road has been getting closer while Chilli Romance has only found one too good in her last two. Ballycash should be thereabouts if headgear sparks some improvement but Blackfire has changed stables since the summer and Alyasan only won a seller at Stratford in July. CLOUD MONKEY, second off this mark last time at Catterick, deserves a change of luck and can get off the mark over hurdles at the seventh attempt.
