MEDIEVAL BISHOP finally returned to winning ways when scoring at Thirsk in June. He's been upped a harsh-looking 8lb but this poor handicap won't take much winning and he's preferred to Politbureau. The latter posted one of his better efforts at Beverley last time but he's unreliable and there's no guarantee of a repeat. Weybridge Light scored at Wolverhampton last month and has claims after a close-up fifth at Musselburgh but it's hard to make a serious case for any of the remainder.
