Verdict
A cracking handicap. ROI DE FRANCE is better than he showed in the Cambridgeshire and can get back on the up now. Like the selection, Victorious Street and Harvard Sound are 3-y-os who likely have more to offer. Longlai and Sterling Knight may prove best of the older brigade.

VerdictConfirmed promise of first 2 starts (AW on debut) when winning 1m Windsor novice in July. Improved second on 9f Yarmouth handicap debut in September and had softer ground as an excuse for finishing well held in the Cambridegeshire. Can resume his progression now.

VerdictLightly raced but building up a good strike rate for this yard, dead heating over C&D in June and well ridden when following up narrowly at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in August. Caught too far back and shaped well when fifth of 14 over C&D latest. On the shortlist.- 13. Harvard SoundJ: Jason WatsonT: Tom CloverF: 2113

VerdictSecond on 7f course debut in May before winning 7f maiden/novice events on turf at Lingfield in June/July. Off 3 months, progressed again when 4 lengths third of 13 on 7f Southwell handicap debut 3 weeks ago. Another to consider.

VerdictWon 3 times on AW last winter, including polytrack. Not disgraced in the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot when last seen in June. Yet another who can't be discounted but the draw could have been kinder.- 9. Victorious StreetJ: Harry DaviesT: Simon & Ed CrisfordF: 42-19

VerdictBeat another useful sort (pair well clear) in 1m Southwell maiden on reappearance in August. A bit disappointing on Doncaster handicap debut the following month but retains potential back on AW after 10 weeks off.

VerdictCourse winner. Only ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7f, 9/1) when last seen in August but he's largely progressive on AW and can go well assuming stall 14 isn't too big of an inconvenience.

VerdictLooked a good prospect when making a winning debut in 7f Newbury novice but yet to build on it. Too soon to suggest it won't click again for this 3-y-o at some point but others arrive with less to prove.
