Verdict

Critical Thinking has now won seven times here having scored over 7f last time while Kendergarten Kop gets a change of headgear having won at Lingfield recently. But HIGHEST MOUNTAIN (NAP) made every yard over track and trip in first-time blinkers a fortnight ago and another bold bid is expected having tumbled down the weights since the summer. Whatwouldyouknow was placed yet again when third at Chelmsford while Broken Rifle is still looking for his first win after 13 starts
