A very open looking contest. Ivestar has struck form with a vengeance and is at his best over a sharp 5f though he's now on his highest mark for some time. Fama Mac won over the C&D earlier this month but doesn't look well handicapped though his rider's claim will help and Ingenti is 8lb higher than when scoring over the C&D in August. Angelo Poliziano is closely matched with Fama Mac and has gone up in the weights without winning as has Piste, who is 9lb higher than when scoring on fast ground here in August. Rio Sands hasn't won for over three years so his recent second in an amateurs race should be taken with a pinch of salt and Babyshambles is another on a very long losing run. EVER ROSES has won once in 29 starts but has been going reasonably well recently in testing conditions and a chance is taken that she can double her tally.
