        Verdict

        Nylon Speed has been hurdling but won over this trip at Kempton in August, though is 6lb higher now. Dutch Uncle won easily dropped into a seller over course and distance last month but this looks tougher. SMILEY BAGEL will have needed his run at Kempton last month and is back on the track where he has already been successful three times. He’s still on a career-high mark but should give a good account. Bamako Du Chatelet also does best around here but all of his victories have come in lower grade races. Esspeegee looks best of the rest.
