        prominent on inside, ridden over 2f out, weakened inside final furlong

        In depth

        Verdict

        There is little in the way of recent winning form though LIBERATED LAD won at Nottingham in August and was beaten less than a length when third at Newcastle last week. Eljaytee finished second at Brighton without troubling the winner while Cavalluccio won here early in the year but still looks high enough in the weights having finished in front of Concert Boy when third at Wolverhampton.
