Verdict

NICATOR showed improved form despite coming from a disadvantageous position the way the race developed when fourth over C&D 2 weeks ago. With fewer miles on the clock than the majority here, he could be worth chancing to confirm the promise of that effort here. Wonder for the in-form James Fanshawe yard and Tryfan head up the dangers, with the consistent Londoner another holding solid each-way claims.

6	Has proved at least as good as ever on all-weather this year, winning at Southwell (1½m) in February. Hard to knock his consistency in defeat since, off 4 months prior to finishing a solid fifth over same C&D in August. Entitled to sharpen up for that and respected for in-form yard. 2nd Pick 6 Wonder Jockey: George Wood Trainer: James Fanshawe J: George Wood T: James Fanshawe	98	-	-	-	9%

4	Addition of first-time cheekpieces saw him notch a fourth career victory at Ascot in July. Dispelled a lesser effort back in a soundly-run race when third at Southwell (1½m) 3 weeks ago and he's not discounted from same mark for stable amongst the winners. 3rd Pick 4 Tryfan Jockey: Lewis Edmunds Trainer: Harry Charlton J: Lewis Edmunds T: Harry Charlton	97	-	-	-	17%
