        Verdict

        WESTERN WAY has yet to win under this code but steps up in trip today. He’s been successful in a bumper and over hurdles so should be bang there at the finish having also tumbled down the weights. Caracas and Spiritoftomintoul have both placed over 2m at Kempton recently, though the former ran a shocker on his latest start, while Topalova has been well beaten since going close over track and trip during the summer so Sea's Aria is preferred.
