Stuart Williams and owner Tom Morley have placed their horses well in these Optional Claiming Handicaps, and Hart Stopper beat today's rival Rapid Applause when winning at Haydock (6f) in early September. However, that winner is 0-3 on the AW and this looks to be ultra competitive. A number of those in the line up have run well at this track in 2018 over differing trips, including Eastern Impact (5f Gosforth Park Cup fourth) and Breanski (7f Beeswing winner), whilst the top-weight and well travelled Gulliver has regularly competed in Conditions races. However, a tentative selection is the dropped in trip WARSAW ROAD, who is nothing if not consistent.
- Warsaw Road
- Hart Stopper
