Bowsers Brave makes a quick reappearance after finishing runner-up over a longer trip at York on Friday and he looks to have every chance. Shabak Hom won over 1m4f at Ffos Las in July and is only 1lb higher today, but the vote goes to RUSTIC DEACON. He's been kept to a mile in only four runs on the turf this season, but he's won twice over today's trip on the Polytrack and Willie Musson's charge drops down a grade here. Hidden Glory did better at Redcar last time but, along with Silver Alliance, has yet to win on turf while another Polytrack winner, Obsession, is returning from lay-off.
