Supreme Asset was returned a losing favourite when third at Cartmel in August and has still just the one win in 19 starts over fences. Quito Du Tresor hasn’t won for some time but has slipped down the weights as a consequence. He was fourth over 2m4f at Perth during the summer while Halcyon Days has not won anywhere yet though has been placed in lower grade chases this year. TOLEDO GOLD is back on a winning mark and this looks slightly easier than his latest task over course and distance when fourth to Fair Loch during the week. He gets another chance in this if allowed his own way up front.
