Veteran That's The Deal is having his 87th career start but three of his nine victories have come here and he won well last month at Huntingdon. Wade Harper was knocking on the door prior to a less impressive effort last month at Chepstow but Prettylittlething is still 4lb higher than when scoring at Newton Abbot in June. ENJOY RESPONSIBLY has changed stables since last seen more than a year ago but makes his debut for new connections off a potentially lenient mark so gets a tentative vote. D'nailor won easily over track and trip in March but is 10lb higher now.
