TURBAN has been raised 7lb for winning at Plumpton earlier this month but still scored by nine lengths despite being eased down in the closing stages. He should go close again and is preferred to Filemon, a disappointing joint-favourite at Warwick in September having placed at Stratford before that. Ballyantics also ran below par when favourite at Bangor but has a shout on his earlier placed efforts while Full Shift drops down a grade for this and may finish closer as a consequence. Arquebusier is not badly treated if back to his best and looks best of the rest.
