In depth

Verdict

Ball Games and Ballito both come into this on the back of back of wins in selling handicaps last time and have to be respected but face no easy task giving weight away all round and preference is for Nowator. The selection faded quickly once headed in a handicap chase when last seen in August but this represents a big drop in class for the eight-year-old who is best in, by some way, on official BHB ratings. Ambersong has claims on the pick of his form but represents a stable badly out of form and of more interest may be Irish raider Auetaler, particularly if the market speaks in his favour. Trianger has given little cause for optimism and a safer net looks to be Nowator, who is taken to make the most of the favourable terms.
