Sandown winner Mountain Range looks to have already peaked this season as he's posted a couple of modest efforts since finishing second at Newbury in August. In contrast, the lightly-raced AUDEN followed-up his maiden win with an even better effort when third over C&D on his handicap debut last week and there should be more to come from the Godolphin colt. Noguchi looks the biggest threat on the back of a recent comeback run as he scored at Wolverhampton last year and is fancied to reverse recent running with top weight Incendo.
