Liberty One was engaged to run yesterday but Big Casino must go on the short-list as he's been placed off this mark recently. Carlton Jack could also play a part if fully wound-up while Lundy Sky was second over 3m on his reappearance at Exeter. The Clock Leary is 8lb higher than when scoring at Catterick but is heading in the right direction and not easily dismissed. HOLD COURT can't get much lower in the weights and is given a final chance to reproduce the form he showed last season. Stablemate Lava Lamp may be best of the rest.
