SPEEDY SENORITA gets the vote here ahead of Sir Nod and King Of Swords. John Quinn's filly was a winner over this course and distance last time out and she showed a good attitude to hold on from the fast-finishing Joyeaux. She has a 4lb rise in the weights for that win but she is only four and could still be improving so from a good draw she looks worth siding with. King Of Swords holds a few of these on his recent wins at Pontefract and although he is worse off at the weights with Lord Of The Reins, Avertuoso and Sir Nod, the feeling is that with confidence high they may struggle to overhaul him. Top-weight Swinbrook may find things happening too quickly here and might be better off back in claiming company at Southwell, so a bigger threat may emerge from Prince Namid who has Adrian Nicholls back on board. The pair teamed up to success here in July and the horse never looked like featuring under Nicky Lawes on his next start. Not My Choice is dangerously well-handicapped and any market move would be interesting, whilst Littlemisssunshine has really hit form of late with some vengeance. A typically tricky handicap sprint, where narrow preference is for Speedy Senorita.
