Verdict

Hector's Here won three times here last winter and scored at Beverley in the summer though he's been running poorly over timber and is looking high enough in the weights. ANDALEEP has never run on the surface but has been racing in better company and looks on a fair mark. The New Marwan did well as a juvenile but had a very long absence before a poor run at Chester in August while Starfighter has been unable to take advantage of a falling mark. Carey Street has gained both all-weather victories at this venue but at a lower grade while Carlisle winner Alyara was well beaten on her all-weather debut at Kempton, though ran well for a long way over that 1m3f.
