Verdict

This looks a tight handicap with several holding decent claims. Kilmurvy was winning for the first time since 2015 when successful at Newton Abbot in July while Morney Wing has been hit with a 12lb rise for a wide-margin victory at Fontwell. Mick Easterby’s veteran Ganbei has each-way claims but Alex Hales could hold the key to this. The Edgcote handler runs two but RUNNING WOLF has seen action more recently than Indian Native. The seven-year-old was placed twice in the summer and is worth another try over this longer trip. Irish Octave won over 3m here in May and later at Bangor so looks the pick of the remainder ahead of Travertine, Gardiners Hill and Amiral Collonges.
