Official ratings suggest TAKEAWAY is home and hosed here and, though he has been beaten at Kempton and Lingfield since landing a claimer over the C&D in September, it's difficult to get away from his obvious chance and he gets the vote. Red Gold And Green is a possible threat on his all-weather debut as he showed some promise on his opening run at Beverley in July and Dandy Nicholls has quickly dropped him into plating company. The ex-Irish Asfurah's Image ran reasonably well on his first start for Marco Botti last month and is one of the few here with scope.
