Verdict

This is a weak maiden and not an event to get too heavily involved in with Damburger Xpress, Neil¿s Legacy, and Queue Up the principals, with preference for the last named. Neil¿s Legacy is open to improvement and ran well for a long way before fading at Lingfield last time to finish sixth. That was a respectable effort and he is getting stronger all the time and can run well at a nice price. Damburger Xpress will be a popular selection with Robert Winston booked and his form stands up well. He ran well on his seasonal re-appearance in July, not beaten far by La Belle Grande at Newmarket in July. Given a break since, Damburger Xpress looks certain to give a good account. Queue Up however, is the one to be on. The selection showed up well in a handicap at Lingfield last time, running prominently in a big field and belying a starting price of 20-1 by staying on to take fourth. Seb Sanders is on board and he can edge closer to Winston at the top of the table by steering Queue Up to victory.
