Verdict
Outcrop has been kept busy and is probably a bit too high in the weights now. PAGERO’s easy win at Huntingdon came over 2m4f but was a conditionals’ race so he escapes a penalty. He’ll be racing off a much higher mark when reassessed so coming here looks the correct call. George Ridsdale enjoys a big weight-for-age allowance at this time of the year but never looked like winning last time at Catterick. Kajaki has changed stables having gone off the boil this year and Carry On makes his handicap debut off a stiff enough mark. Chieftain's Choice won at Stratford in the summer but that is his track.
