Dorette had every chance when falling last time. Shantou Sunset has taken a step forward this season, winning at Market Rasen in July and finishing a close-up third at Newton Abbot in September. Mr Magill could figure if fully wound-up but Pens Man needs to bounce back from a poor run when favourite at Uttoxeter. Felix D'Autry and Hoot At Midnight have a chance but it is difficult to get away from INNISFREE LAD, who took advantage of Sandy Boy’s waywardness here last month and has only been raised 4lb. Hattaab often flatters to deceive and has to take on the selection off level weights.
