    Verdict

    SANDFRANKSKIPSGO has slipped back down the handicap since winning at Newbury in August and was runner-up over track and trip last time. Peter Crate’s charge is preferred to The Big Lad, who has been thereabouts over the minimum trip on the all-weather recently. Billyoakes last won on Turf in 2014 while Taajub was well beaten here last month but finished ahead of Cherry Kool at Lingfield before that.
