        Verdict

        SAWWAAH (NAP) can complete a hat-trick of course and distance victories. He’s been raised 6lb for the latest of those but looks to have plenty more to offer after only four career starts. My Target is better than he showed here last time but will probably be seen to better effect on Polytrack over the winter. No-one would begrudge Mr Top Hat a belated first win of the season as he’s been second five times this year while Medieval is also running well enough to get involved, though was a couple of places behind Little Jo here in September. The latter rattled up a hat-trick prior to that placed effort but has gone up a further 5lb since. Queen Penn and Data Protection aren’t out of this but History Writer looks held on the form book.
