A very competitive handicap in which most have some sort of chance. English Summer has been enjoying a revival under Richard Fahey's tutelage but recent victories have come in amateur races and he only beat Eton Rambler a neck at Epsom in July - the latter is 6lb better off now. Moshe came right back to form here last time while Top of The Glas was third in the Cumberland Plate at Carlisle in June. Stockhill Diva is in good form and High And Flighty made a winning debut at Ripon last month and could be anything. IRISH HAWKE probably didn't stay 1m6f at Salisbury last time. He'd impressed earlier in a Lingfield maiden over this trip and is worth another chance.
