A few tempting propositions in this tight handicap but WOODEN KING is just about the most interesting. His win over the very much in form Kinigi over course and distance in August now looks very strong form so after some solid efforts off this mark the last twice he should run a big race. Stamford Blue is back to his last winning mark but has failed to take care of similar opportunities recently while Nadinska comes here on form having won a maiden, however this will be tougher. Cwmni has gone close off this rating the last twice so has clear claims but Wooden King should run a big race.
