Walls Way won at Bangor before finishing second at Fontwell in August and may enjoy a fitness advantage over Autumm Spirit, who has won two of his three starts over fences but hasn't been seen scoring at Towcester in May. Kadouchski makes his fencing bow but had winning form over hurdles and has been in good nick on the Flat this summer. He can't be ignored but the one to beat may be SAMBELUCKY, who shaped with a great deal of promise at Sedgefield two weeks ago. This extra half-mile will be right up his street and he is sure to strip fitter here.
