Verdict

Lets Roll can gain another course-and-distance success at the expense of Nero West, Monolith and Idarah. Stamina will not be an issue for most of these, including the selection Lets Roll who has won no less than three times round here in the past. Chris Thornton's six-year-old has taken on better opposition in the past, and has slipped down the weights of late, so he can be followed before going back over hurdles this winter. Nero West goes on the ground, and was in good form in the summer, while Monolith is another decent dual-purpose performer on his day, but has shown his best form on faster ground. Stablemate Idarah is best watched at present, and for the winner we return to Lets Roll.
