Verdict

A continuation of the September theme after a weekend of big-field sprints at Ayr. Speaking of which, a number of these horses contested either the Silver or Bronze Cups, including the grand veteran Confessional who holds realistic place claims. Others drawn high with a winning chance are Holmeswood (closely matched with Final Venture on York form), and his stablemate the Gosforth Park Cup winner Copper Knight. However, we'll chance a low draw with stablemates Final Venture and TARBOOSH drawn adjacent in stalls two and three. The four-timer seeking Harry Bentley-ridden charge finished a close up third in this race in 2017, and is capable of making all.
  1. Tarboosh
  2. Final Venture
  3. Copper Knight
