Verdict
Ishebayorgrey was conceding 8lb to Roachdale House when they battled out a finish over the track and trip a couple of weeks ago but will be 8lb worse off taking jockey bookings into consideration so the latter, who had been hurdling earlier in the year, should reverse the form though he has an inexperienced pilot on board. Live Twice was well beaten in that contest is better than she showed and Pat Smullen has again been engaged to ride. Victorious Secret is back on the same mark as when successful over the course and distance in July and she's continued to perform with credit in slightly better company while Shepherd's Purse has dropped to a mark he's capable of winning from. BURN THE BOATS doesn't look an obvious choice but he was racing from a 13lb higher mark a year ago before having a spell in the UK where he ran in better company than this. He's joined Jonny Levins and was having his first start for the yard over a trip too short last week and that should have put him straight for this. Voyageofdiscovery would have to be considered if getting a run from his reserve spot.
