Bold Runner still looks a shade high in the weights while Bowsers Bold is still searching for that elusive first win having placed once again here last week. Broughtons Berry shaped well on her first couple of starts and could figure now handicapping but Always Resolute has struggled off higher marks since winning over 1m2f at Haydock. Argot has a shout back on the Flat but a chance is taken on FOUR NATIONS repeating his good effort at Haydock in September given he is 5lb lower today with Chris Meehan's allowance further helping his cause.
