The clear highlight of the evening with a number of useful stayers locking horns after contesting much stronger events earlier in the season. Watersmeet is a standing dish on the AW, and was a runner up in the Marathon Series on AW Finals Day at Lingfield in April, and has had a quiet season since; slightly out of his depth in both the Chester Cup and the Cesarewitch. That last named contest will have brought him forward for a winter campaign (his first start for five months), but in both Battersea and LORD GEORGE he faces a couple of rather thorny opponents. Battersea hasn't disgraced himself in the Ebor's of 2016 and 2017, and looks set for a busy winter on the AW following a relatively light turf campaign, whilst the selection has shown his strongest AW form on the Tapeta at Newcastle. His 2017 Northumberland Plate fourth to stablemate Higher Power represents rock-solid handicap form, and a reproduction of that effort (from the same mark) will see him go mightily close to winning tonight.
