Red Warrior was enterprisingly ridden at Nottingham last time but was easily picked off by the odds-on Thouwra, though the winner is useful on his day. He's likely to have most of these on the stretch if taken to the front again but MUTHAFAR could be the one to reel him in this time. Willie Haggas' gelding has only had two starts and his latest third at Newmarket in July has worked out really well. Llanarmon Lad should be winning soon judged on his comeback second over 1m2f here three weeks ago while the well-bred Life And Times should also have more offer and looks the pick of the remainder.
