Verdict

TOMMY G has won three times around here and landed a Class 2 handicap at Godwood last summer from 5lb higher. He hasn't been in the best of form but returning here could have the desired effect. Kupa River has only been out of the frame once in eight starts this year, winning three times, though was beaten off this mark at Musselburgh last time. Shawaamekh has been narrowly beaten in two handicaps at Wetherby this campaign after landing a novices' event at Catterick in September while Highlight Reel has dropped 7lb in the ratings this season and ran well for a long way over an extended mile at Nottingham. He was 3l in front of Bertog off levels when scoring at Newmarket in August and the latter hasn't run since but Glengarry, from a yard in form, reappeared after a break with a fine run at Newcastle and will be ready for this.
