Twice a winner at Ffos Las in the summer, BEOWULF can be forgiven his latest run at Kempton and is weighted to reverse earlier Newbury running with Just Jacob so gets the nod. Her Way would be a rare runner here for North Yorkshire handler Karen Tutty while Wholelotafun has a good record here and was a winner last month. Night Eagle finished just ahead of the selection last time and beat My Boy Charles when completing a double earlier with Limited Edition arriving off the back of a win at Kempton. Mummy's Boy is still a maiden but gradually dropping down the handicap but Meadram has been doing his winning at Wolverhampton in lesser company.
