We have tipped Handsome Sam a couple of times, twice with stable-mate TBbroke Her; and the horse is slowly running

to form, ran well for a long way here last time; a race that featured 2 others who have been big priced winners for us this Autumn;

namely Paddy The Oscar at 25/1 and Sonoftheking at 22/1; so you sense; Handsome Sam chance is near. STEEL NATIVE has also

won for us this Autumn but a mark of over 100 and away from Ffos Llas means I think it is vulnerable here and Clondaw Rigger is a

danger but unproven on this type of sticky Going. There are a host of moderate sorts and one could "pop up" and I am particularly

interested, if you want a small side bet; in SHANANN STAR; has won and may just be coming to hand now; off a mark of 87, with

Paige Fuller taking  5lbs off, no excuses abut fitness and mark; they have said in the past the horse does not like to be in the horse

box for too long, so can only assume, they would have travelled up before the race; and interesting if putting best effort in. The 

Last Bridge also lurks on a dangerous mark with the Champion riding for his mom, but generally needs a run and may be best

for this and particularly interesting back once it has opened the tubes, back at Warwick.
