The weights point towards Travel, who can put his advantage on these terms to good use and get the better of Smart Savannagh and Hot Shots, who concede the best part of two stone to the selection. That is not to dismiss the challenges of Winsley, who is open to improvement, and Swan Night, who has a touch of class about him but does not always go through with his effort. Richard Fahey is more than capable of getting one ready over hurdles and a return to form from this gelding is not out of the question. Watch the betting closely surrounding his charge here. However, Travel has been shaping up nicely through the summer and looks ready to take on this stronger opposition. The form of his latest start was given a solid boost by Athuelpa at Chepstow three days ago and he will be very hard to beat if he delivers a repeat dose today.
