Verdict

Takes Tutu has shown enough in recent runs to warrant the verdict here, with Blonde En Blonde and Multiple Choice two others that catch the eye. Karl Burke's gelding has been running well over longer trips and wasn't beaten far behind Mr Velocity in a decent race at Epsom last time. And if you go back a couple of years he put in some very good efforts over this course and distance, so with no problems with the track or trip, Takes Tutu looks the one to beat. Nick Littmoden will be gearing up for a an all-weather winter campaign and he runs both Blonde En Blonde and Multiple Choice. Both have strong claims. Blonde En Blonde was only four lengths behind Harrison Point in a better race over course and distance, while Multiple Choice comes into the argument on his recent effort behind Simpson's Mount. Linning Wine is also worthy of a mention, but Takes Tutu will appreciate this return to seven furlongs and is a confident choice.
