Stylish Performer has been winning over 7f at Chelmsford while Bickerstaffe has looked high enough in the weights since scoring over track and trip in July.

PROP FORWARD defied a penalty to land the odds with the minimum of fuss at Wolverhampton last time and with more to come from Clive Cox’ colt now handicapping, he looks the one to side with.
