Verdict

Pour Sioux represents Gordon Elliott and though showing little looks the type to improve over this longer trip. FUNNY MAN completed a hat-trick in mid-summer and has continued to run well from his higher mark so can give Danny Tudhope another winner while Soloist came good at Newcastle and has changed stables. George Mallory had dropped to his lowest mark when scoring at Haydock but has gone up 5lb while Cuba Ruba couldn't cope with 6lb extra at Musselburgh after scoring there previously.
