Salvatore Fury won a division of this in 2013 and though on a long losing run he's now looking on a very fair mark. Keene's Point is consistent enough which is why he's 8lb higher than his last winning mark in a lower grade event at Newcastle in August. He finished runner-up at Hamilton last time but Its Only Mossy, who started favourite, was carried across the course by a loose horse and must have a chance of returning to winning ways. EXOTIC GUEST was unlucky in-running at Nottingham and though that was a Class 6 handicap he's capable of winning at this slightly higher level so gets the nod. Princess Peaches has been consistent, though her only victory has come at Southwell, but Mininggold has won over the minimum trip here and at Catterick and should have no problems with the extra.
