This is a very nice prize and both Satish Seemar and Doug Watson are well represented. The former has four runners with the hat-trick seeking Ode To Autumn the mount of Fabrice Veron but Richie Mullen, who has ridden him in most of his races, has chosen to ride Medahim, having his first start for the yard since transferring from the UK where he won three times. Mystique Moon has the best recent form of Watson's entries though an outside draw tempers enthusiasm so it's FANAAR who gets the vote for the yard despite also having a wide berth. Twice a winner in the UK for William Haggas, he's had just two runs for his new handler, staying on nicely when his chance had gone in both. He should be spot-on here and gets the nod though stable companion Shamaal Nibras has an excellent record here and has every chance of some prize money from his inside berth.
