Plenty of multiple track winners here including Sheisdiesel, six times a winner including a four-timer in the spring. She hasn't run since an excellent second at the Curragh in May but would have a chance if ready after a break. CHARCOR was having only his second start on the track when landing a 1m2f handicap three weeks ago from Sky Seven when Bold Approach finished third after holding every chance. The winner quickened away inside the final furlong and never looked like being caught so the longer trip shouldn't pose a problem. Great Bear came in for support on his latest start for Roger Charlton at Wolverhampton but finished last though he'd run better on Polytrack at Kempton earlier.
