Germanic (1.30 Doncaster)
Germanic likely needed his return after wind surgery at Haydock, which came on ground quicker than ideal. He’s expected to bounce back, given his best turf RPR came on soft ground on his only visit to Doncaster. The cheekpieces he wore for the only time that day now returns and he’s 5lb lower. He looks a huge price.
Winning Smut (2.55 Cheltenham)
Winning Smut has shown big improvement on his past three starts, most recently when making up for a narrow defeat at Killarney with a comfortable Listed handicap success at Galway in August when last seen. He looks to have been freshened up with this in mind and has more to offer.
Wechaad (3.10 Newbury)
Wechaad comfortably won a 7f nursery at Doncaster last month, relishing his first encounter with ground slower than good. He was just 0.04sec per furlong slower than Aylin, who landed the Group 2 May Hill on the same card. He can take this step up in class in his stride.
