With his yard in outstanding form, DAN GUN is likely to attract support. He showed his best form when runner-up over 2m1f at Exeter and disappointed over this trip at Hereford a few days later but gets a chance to put matters right. Armattiekan also let supporters down at Stratford last month though that was his first start since May and he's expected to do better. Scottsdale made all for a comfortable victory at Stratford in August but was soon headed and beaten from an 8lb higher mark at Market Rasen a month later while Splash The Cash has shown glimpses of ability and this is a poor contest.
