AINSLIE has been thereabouts since winning at Leicester in July and looks sure to at least run his race. That's more than can be said of Sur Empire, who bounced back at Carlisle last time. I'm Super Too and Royal Holiday have looked high enough in the weights since winning earlier in the year so Incurs Four Faults is preferred on his recent placed efforts at Carlisle. Latin Rebel is another unreliable type but did go close off a similar mark on a couple of occasions in July.
