Verdict
William Money and See What Happens have both been threatening to score with recent placed efforts to their credit. The latter is preferred on October's second at Wetherby while Papa Caruso has ran well either side of being pulled up at Newcastle and can figure. Premier Sagas' form took a dip last year and he showed no improvement on his reappearance at this track last month while Rossini's Dancer has to be forgiven a below par effort here last time but has every chance if back to his best. STORMING GALE also threw in a bad one at Kempton recently but gets another chance on his earlier run behind Prince Of Pirates at the same track.
