Verdict

Tennesse Waltz gained his first ever success on his 17th start when dropped back to 7f last month and, though just 2lb higher, may prove best over that trip. WAR ROOM went up 12lb after his easy victory over the track and trip in September and has slowly been coming down to a more manageable mark. He was staying on strongly behind Try Again a fortnight ago and can return to winning ways. The consistent Purple Party was just in front in that latter event and will make a bold bid to go one better while Manorov has a decent record around here and should get into the mix. Shukhov hasn't won since April but has now dropped to a very lowly mark and showed a lot more dash here last time.
