Verdict

INTERSTATE didn't enjoy the smoothest of trips when third at Newbury 12 days ago having won in first-time blinkers at Newcastle the time before. He can resume winning ways back on the all-weather. Tiernan was possibly unsuited by conditions when sixth at Ayr but had shaped well at this track the time before and is feared most, while Cape Fear is a 3-y-o that could improve further.

Verdict
Three-time course winner who hasn't hit top form yet this year and probably will be vulnerable to younger legs, but this is a marked drop in grade so he may reveal more.

Brought up Flat hat-trick at Southwell in July before third of 12 over 1½m here in August when upped in grade and lost little in defeat. Holds place claims once more.

Verdict
Off the mark at Hamilton in August and produced good second on all-weather debut over 1½m here 25 days ago. Seemed unsuited by softer going on turf last time and could go well back at this venue.

Verdict
Boasts a solid all-weather record and can be excused latest turf flop on good to soft going. Now tries first-time blinkers and has a positive jockey booking so could figure.

Verdict
Won at Windsor in August then ran well when fifth of 9 in a much stronger handicap at Ascot 25 days ago, racing closer to the pace than ideal. One to take very seriously switched to all-weather.

Verdict
Took advantage of an attractive mark when won 8-runner handicap over 1¼m at Sandown in July. Now 6 lb higher for all-weather debut upped slightly in trip but needs viewing positively given his unexposed nature.

Won on debut at Yarmouth over 1¼m in August, beating a subsequent winner, before producing a good second of 4 at Ripon 30 days ago. Makes his handicap and all-weather debuts here and is open to further improvement.

Verdict
Off the mark in first-time blinkers at Newcastle 27 days ago and ran even better when third of 8 in a handicap at Newbury 12 days ago, not enjoying the smoothest of trips. Should be suited by this slightly longer trip and looks a major player back on all-weather.

Verdict
Fairly useful sort but often compromises his chance by not settling. Placed both starts on all-weather but will likely find this beyond him unless he settles down.
