Rated 87, TAWDEEA (NAP) was not at his best on his return but has leading claims on last year’s second at Sandown. Euchen Glen showed promise when second at Ayr on his debut in September but Steccando has a recent run under his belt when beaten only a head at Ripon last month. Warp Factor can be given a chance on his placed efforts in Ireland this year and Weekend Offender ran a couple of good races last term before disappointing at York.
