Nonrunner
Venetia Williams' yard is yet to strike form so the lightly-raced Reginaldinho is probably best watched on his first start since March. Quiet Whisper has been busy over the summer but failed to land the odds in a three-runner race at Towcester earlier this month, while Herschel was well beaten in a seller at Stratford last Thursday. Dancewiththedevil has been reassessed since finishing a close-up third at Wincanton so this can go to SERIOUS CHOICE, who has dropped a couple of pounds since finishing fifth at Huntingdon. Matt Griffiths also takes off 3lb here so Philip Hobbs' six-year-old can have no excuses today.
