Verdict

Tom Sawyer has been in winning form on faster ground of late though he's 9lb higher than his latest win at Sandown in August. Pontefract winner Above The Stars would also prefer a quicker surface and has a couple of lengths to make up with COME ON DAVE on latest running. The latter won in soft ground at Catterick on his penultimate start and looks to have every chance in this. Igoyougo makes his belated seasonal return but has the past form to figure but this is tougher than the race Mission Impossible won at Newcastle last time.
