Verdict

Safari Journey would have made short work of these a few years ago but is a shadow of his former self and hasn't won a race for more than four years. Dark And Dangerous goes on the short-list, however, having had a pipe-opener on the all-weather last month while Topthorn would have claims if his latest run at Leicester were ignored. Pindar won at Sedgefield in September but it may not pay to take that form at face value. CANGO hasn't shown much under Rules so far but has definitely improved between the flags this autumn and should be a different proposition second time around. This is a drop in trip but the likely strong pace will suit. Cavite Eta has a long absence to overcome.
