JAUNTY THOR, a major contributor to the Gordon Elliot coffers this term. may land a fifth success of the season. He does, however, find himself raised considerably in class here but his handler is exceptional at bringing about improvement in his charges and he is worth rowing in with again as he remains in such good heart. Deans Road made an excellent return to action in September after a year off and is weighted to go well with his rider's valuable claim factored into the equation. Similar comments are attributable to Blast Of Koeman, whose run of consistency came to a halt when capsizing the last day. He should be involved here granted a clear round, as should the lightly-raced Peculiar Genius, who remains open to considerable progress and gets in here off a temptingly low weight.
