Wot You Wearing, third off this mark at Hereford, last month has been in reasonable form this autumn but today’s going would be a concern. Leading Swoop was just beaten at Fontwell at the start of the year but an absence since is not ideal. Beaufort West is a previous course winner who is potentially well treated on his reappearance. This won’t take winning so he goes on the shortlist but we’ll take a chance that RICHARDSON is ready to roll after a recent switch of stables.
