Kings Masque won on the Polytrack here in July when Reaction finished a close-up third. The former scored again at Wolverhampton last time when the short-priced favourite URBAN SPACE unseated leaving the stalls. The latter has since joined Tony Carroll and gets a chance to make amends in this. Idyllic Star has a chance at the weights though arrives badly out of sorts while Khazium gets Richard Hughes on board but today's longer trip is an unknown for him.
