Verdict

AIR FORCE ONE showed excellent form at York during the summer and he could be the answer to this competitive contest on just his second AW start back from a break. Badri has been running well for a while now and returns to 5f where he's won twice at this C&D, so he's feared most, though The Caltonian is a Newcastle specialist with 6 course wins, including a useful handicap last time.

12	Won at York in July and 2 cracking placed efforts in good-quality handicaps soon after at that venue. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (7/1) 77 days ago, shaped as if needing the run after a break, his effort flattening out on AW debut. Looks the one to beat if back to his York form. 1st Pick 12 Air Force One (Ire) Jockey: P. J. Mcdonald Trainer: Geoff Oldroyd J: P. J. Mcdonald T: Geoff Oldroyd	100	-	-	-	10%	10/1

7	Strong in the betting and another sound effort when second of 7 in 6f course handicap (4/1) 17 days ago, unable to find a way past one that had been marginally better placed. Returns to 5f where he has won twice at this C&D early in his career. 2nd Pick 7 Badri Jockey: Jason Hart Trainer: Michael Herrington J: Jason Hart T: Michael Herrington	99	-	-	-	15%	6/1

4	Newcastle specialist with 6 course wins who bounced back to form when successful in higher-grade handicap over 6f at the track (33/1) 21 days ago, having dropped to the mark he defied a year earlier. Up 5 lb and back down in trip, so he has to be taken seriously. 3rd Pick 4 The Caltonian Jockey: Paul Mulrennan Trainer: Linda Perratt J: Paul Mulrennan T: Linda Perratt	97	-	-	-	17%	5/1
