PENDO had been in good form before failing to stay the 1m2f at Lingfield. He went very close over track and trip in August and can land this with a similar effort. Shifting Star has a shout off his current mark but Ostralegus is upped 5lb for scoring over track and trip a fortnight ago. Ertikaan finished a lot closer dropped into this grade last time and Stormbound is another with claims if rediscovering his earlier form.
