Chicago Outfit was completing a course and distance hat-trick when beating Green Wizard in June. But the runner-up is now 7lb better off and George Bewley's charge was tailed off in a subsequent run at Cartmel. SETTLEDOUTOFCOURT (NAP) goes well fresh so his absence since May is not a concern. He's not badly treated at present and is preferred to an out-of-sorts Big Sound and George Fernbeck, who also appears to have lost his way. Strumble Head should be thereabouts, however, and Sedgefield third Longueville Flier is the least exposed of these.
