The frustrating Fast In The Wind is 5lb out of the handicap though Tom Madden's claim takes care of that and he's been a bit unfortunate not to have won here. Burren View Lady won off higher marks when trained in the UK and arrives in good form with her rider's claim a bonus. DEEDS NOT WORDS won six races for Mick Channon though he never raced on the all-weather. He's joined in an-form yard who will get the best out of him and he looks potentially well treated. Togoville has a touch of quality about him as he again proved when beating tonight's rival Jamesie here last month. He's now rated 100 but Oisin Orr's 7lb claim should ensure he remains competitive and he should again have the edge on the runner-up, who has since occupied the same spot in a Listed race at Lingfield. The former Richard Hannon-trained Geological may just need this after an absence since Epsom in July.
