Reloaded finished ahead of Dark Jedi at Newmarket and will appreciate the drop back to 7f and easier ground. Howzer Black is back in form but has raised a couple of pounds since his second at Ayr and preference is for TYPHOON TEN. Richard Hannon’s gelding is still a maiden on Turf and steps up in trip but his second to Aplomb at Leicester in August was decent form in the context of a race like this. Gentle Look and Irene May could also figure but King Of Tonga continues to disappoint.
