Willwams was a 33/1 chance when beating stablemate Sans Souci Bay in a Lingfield claimer last month and a line through the second gives him something to find with Shadow Warrior. Ourmullion has the stronger all-weather form but is hardly unexposed. August’s Salisbury winner Gravity Wave is back in the right grade and Jim Crowley rides but we should see BEDOUIN in a better light this year. A half-brother to four winners, he was getting the hang of things in the autumn and now tackles a trip more in line with his breeding. I'vegotthepower and Kiruna Peak may be best of the rest.
