Verdict

Cherokee Nation, Sir Desmond and Silent Storm are three against the field in this wide open handicap and the vote is given to Cherokee Nation. The selection won well on the polytrack at Wolverhampton last time when narrowly defeating Great Fox. That win came over the minimum trip and as he is at his most effective over 6f, he should take plenty of beating here with Darryll Holland a positive jockey booking. Sir Desmond brought a long losing sequence to an end when narrowly beating Flying Bantam last time at Redcar, and he is proven on this surface so he has to be respected. Silent Storm broke his duck when beating Willhewiz last time, and this lightly-raced colt could well be worth following on the AW this winter. Stoic Leader would have claims on the pick of his form, but he is probably better over further and for the winner we return to Cherokee Nation.
