    very keen and awkward start, always towards rear

    In depth

    Verdict

    Obrigado, Mino A Salem and Claret and Amber look the main players here, and Obrigado can come out on top. Claret and Amber won at Redcar and Chester in successive races in August and shaped well last time, to be beaten just over two lengths. That was an improvement on recent efforts and he can go well at a nice price. Mino A Salem followed up a close second over the course and distance with two good efforts at Lingfield, winning one and second in the other. He looks sure to go close again. Willie Haggas is always to be respected here and he saddles Obrigado. A Lingfield winner two outings ago, he has been given a break sice going down by a length to Hail The Chief over the course and distance last time. He has plenty of ability, and Obrigado can show it here.
