Verdict
The veteran Foxhaven gained his first Polytrack victory at Kempton last month but has seven victories on Turf to his credit. He was racing from higher marks than this last summer and it would be no surprise to see him go in again. Highly LIkely has never reached a place in seven starts on Turf but there's no doubt he's improving and from a mark of 61 has to be of interest. DRUMMOND is inconsistent and there's no guarantee he'll repeat last week's effort behind Tawseef at Chepstow but he was narrowly beaten at Bath in August from a 15lb higher mark and in that kind of mood will take some beating. Hurakan is generally consistent but likes really fast ground and could do with a few pounds off.
