Verdict
Good Earth won at Brighton earlier in the month while Equitation also has a shout on these terms. Sweet Bertie landed a seller over a longer trip at Leicester in August and Nurse Florence has been thereabouts in handicaps but has a bit to find at the weights. Storm Over won a handicap here back in February while STEELRIVER also returns from a lay-off having placed in tougher plating races early in the year and the veteran may prove good enough.
