Verdict

UDONTDODOU landed a Thirsk maiden in a canter then completed a double in a Windsor handicap last week without too much fuss. He comes here with a 6lb penalty but still looks very well handicapped and can complete a hat-trick. Alkhor, runner-up in a Goodwood maiden in June, went to Windsor 10 days later and landed the odds though not without a struggle. He makes his handicap debut and wouldn't be travelling here unless thought capable of a big run. Richard Fahey tries Celebration in blinkers but he's now been beaten five times off a mark of 77 and he's 2lb higher here. My Amigo has also been raised twice after placed efforts though he's only run four times so should have some progress in him.
