Verdict

A winner at Carlisle in September, AMERICAN AFFAIR signed off last term with a very good third in a big-field Ayr handicap later that month. Still relatively unexposed over the minimum trip, he could be the way to go from a handy draw in the hope he's ready to roll back from 7 months off. Recent Newcastle scorer Whisky McGonagall, the returning Paddy's Day and Son of Sampers are others to consider in a competitive opener.
